Intense rainfall and strong winds have caused problems in the north of the country, triggering power supply outages, rockfalls on roads and difficulties for vehicle traffic. The most problematic situation is in Kukës County, where several administrative units and neighborhoods in Kukës, Has and Tropojë have been left without electricity as a result of the severe weather conditions.
In addition to power outages, the rainfall has also caused landslides of inert material and rockfalls on several national road segments. In Tropojë, the problems have been reported on the Margegaj–Valbonë segment, where fallen rocks on the road have created difficulties for drivers.
A difficult situation has also been recorded in the Theth area, in Shkodër. As a result of the rainfall, the stream has overflowed its bed, blocking the Theth–Ndërlysaj road and hindering vehicle movement. So far, no homes are reported to be at risk from flooding. The authorities are working to remove the material accumulated on the roads and normalize traffic as quickly as possible.
Weather forecasts are not optimistic for the coming days. Over the weekend, intermittent rain and storms are expected, especially in the northern areas of Albania. Unstable weather is expected to affect the rest of the territory as well, while temperatures will range from 8 to 23 degrees Celsius.
