How hot is it in Albania during August?
August is typically the hottest month in Albania. The temperature hits about 31℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 16℃ at night.The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Albania during August?
August is typically the driest month in Albania. On average, there will be 3 rainy days during the month, amounting to 39.2mm in total. That's much drier than we see in England during August, and therefore not something to be concerned about. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Albania during August?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in August. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a welcome cooling effect.
