Durrës, Albania’s main port city on the Adriatic coast, has a Mediterranean climate with around 1,000 mm (about 39 inches) of rain a year, concentrated in autumn and winter with a dry summer that supports its role as a popular beach destination. Autumn storms moving in off the Adriatic can bring intense, short-duration rainfall and coastal flooding risk to the low-lying port area. As Albania’s main maritime gateway, sudden weather shifts here have real operational implications for shipping traffic. Because the transition from dry summer to sudden autumn storms happens quickly, radar tracking during that period is genuinely useful. Albania’s national meteorological institute operates the radar network.
