Weather forecaster Lajda Porja from "MeteoAlb" was invited to the "Aldo Morning Show" today. Porja says that the end of October and November will generally have sunny days, but there will also be rain.
The forecaster also warned that we should be prepared for extreme phenomena that mean higher degrees of aggressiveness of rainfall similar to last week's storm.
Regarding the approaching winter, Porja said that this winter will be colder than the last one, but it will not be ideal.
Lajda Porja: October is predicted to be hot with high temperatures always if we compare with normal values. If we talk about normal conditions, the highest values ??are around 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, today we expect 28 degrees Celsius. We will have passing rains, we do not expect to have problems last week. Thursday and Friday will be cloudy, humid and little rain, but with high temperatures, up to 29. Tirana will have very high humidity throughout this week, there is not much rain, but there is a lot of humidity. After this week we will have some sunny days. What I want to emphasize is that we have a difference in minimum and maximum temperatures. Also, we are totally outside the climate parameters, we can no longer talk about normal climate, but we are outside the temperatures that you should actually be really cold because we are in October.
What about the rainfall during this month, how is it predicted?
Lajda Porja: In fact, the episode we went through that brought all those problems in the Vlora region and in many areas. The monthly quotas have been met in a good part of the territory, the monthly quotas that should have fallen throughout the month fell in only 24 hours and in the Vlora region, about 100 millimeters of rain fell. The precipitation will be like this, which means we will have many sunny days, we may have a few rainy days and on those days there is intense precipitation. And we are not prepared in terms of infrastructure or sewerage to cope with so much rainfall, that's why we have the situation of floods. It is the precipitation factor, but now we must be prepared for extreme phenomena. There is a higher degree of aggressiveness, the precipitation is in a homogeneous distribution, but it has a completely different distribution, so we are waiting for us throughout November, but also for the 10 days of October, a phenomenon that was like the storm we just went through.
In the meantime, we'll keep hoping for snow, right?
Lajda Porja: This winter, if we compare it with last winter, it will be close to the climatic parameters, which means we will have cold days because currently "Lanjinia" has started, it is the opposite of "Elingio", it started at the end of September and is expected to be present until February which means that a good part of the globe will experience short but cloudy periods. This winter will be relatively cooler than last winter, but we cannot say that it will be an ideal winter.
