Albania Bakes In 40°C Heat | Tourists & Locals Battle Record Summer Temperatures | VERTEX

Albania is experiencing its most intense heatwave of 2026, with temperatures soaring above 40°C across the country and reaching 42°C in the capital, Tirana. Residents and tourists sought relief in city fountains, parks and shaded areas as authorities warned of dangerous heat conditions. Officials also reported overnight temperatures of 27°C in Tirana—the highest nighttime reading recorded in the past decade.
