Traveller notes on Tirana in February
Other months in Tirana
Forum posters describe November in Tirana as genuinely unpredictable - it might shine, it might rain - but consistently note it isn't cold, with historical temperatures around 16C typical for the month. Posters are direct that rain is normal and expected this time of year, though one mid-November visitor reported it mostly falling after 6pm or early morning rather than during the day, described as light rather than a deluge, with streets typically dry again by midday. Posters flag winter daytime highs and nighttime lows generally between 0 and 8C, with only a handful of nights a year dropping toward -5C. Posters generally reassure visitors that museums and attractions stay open through November, just with shorter hours adjusted to the shorter daylight. Posters generally rate November as a mild, rain-prone but entirely workable time to visit Tirana.
May in Tirana runs warm — around 22°C, with days reaching 25 and occasionally 30, against cool nights near 13 — and the forum calls it dry and warm after a wet, cool April. The rain-day count is less flattering: May comes out among Tirana's wetter months at about thirteen days, barely below April. The reconciliation is the forum's own better line — in the Balkans it rarely rains for a full day, you get a couple of heavy showers and then sun for the rest of it. So plenty of wet days, few days written off. Warm enough for the coast, though the sea may still be too cold for some.
