Heavy rain and strong winds have caused problems with electricity supply in Kukës County. The city of Kukës, along with most of the municipality’s villages, has been without power for about 7 hours.
Difficulties with electricity supply are also reported in the municipalities of Has and Tropojë. Meanwhile, unfavorable weather conditions have also affected road traffic. On some national roads, falling rocks and soil have been observed, making vehicle movement difficult. Drivers are advised to exercise particular caution while traveling.
However, beyond the problems caused by the bad weather, the rainfall has also brought positive news for the area. Increased water inflows have begun to be reflected in Lake Kukës, where today the water level has risen for the first time in six months.
For about two weeks, the lake had been at critical levels, causing the water surface to recede and reveal the ruins of the old city of Kukës, which are usually covered by water.
While the return of normal electricity supply is awaited, residents and drivers should be careful due to the rainfall and strong winds that continue to affect the area.
