Albania was included in the area of ​​Southern Europe that recorded temperatures significantly above normal during the summer of 2026.

According to Copernicus Climate Change Service maps, the average air temperature in the June-August period in the Albanian territory is approximately 1 to 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 average, with higher anomalies in some areas of the country.

The number of hot days also increased significantly. The Copernicus map, where a “summer day” is defined as a day with a maximum temperature above 25°C, places most of Albania in the range of about 15 to 25 days more than average, with differences by area. The comparison is made with the period 1991-2020.

Albania was also included in the area where the “very severe heat stress” category was reached during the summer. Copernicus classifies this level when the UTCI index, which measures perceived temperature by taking into account temperature, humidity, wind and solar radiation, reaches 38-46°C. This is not the measured air temperature, but the level of heat experienced by the human body.

Across Europe, the summer of 2026 was 1.17°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average, ranking as the third warmest summer in the ERA5 data, after 2024 and 2022. Summer temperatures were well above average across 41% of the European territory, while 22% of the area recorded seasonal records.

For Albania, the rainfall situation was not the same throughout the three months. The maps show a more mixed picture at the beginning of the summer, while August appears significantly drier, with parts of the country in the below or well below average rainfall categories.

Copernicus notes that in August the strongest precipitation and soil moisture deficits were concentrated in Southeastern Europe and that soil moisture fell to record levels in much of the Balkans.

The soil surface moisture map also shows deterioration in the Balkans during the latter part of the summer, with areas of Albania moving into drier-than-average categories.

The drought indicator used by Copernicus combines precipitation with potential water loss from high temperatures, comparing the situation with the period 1991-2020.

The publication "European Summer 2026: Records, Extremes and Context" by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) summarizes the climate conditions that characterized Europe during the summer of 2026, with a focus on temperatures, heat waves, drought, soil moisture, river flows and fires.

According to the report, the summer of 2026 was characterized by unusually long and prolonged heat across much of the continent, accompanied by dry conditions, low river flows and increased wildfire activity.

In Europe, the average summer temperature was 1.17°C above the 1991-2020 average, ranking it as the third warmest summer on record in the ERA5 data series.
