In March, the first month of spring, the climate in Albania is generally
mild, however, periods of winter weather are still possible, with cold weather on the coast and snow in the inland areas, especially in the first half of the month.
The average daily
temperature is 12/13 °C (54/55 °F) on the coast (see Durrës, Vlorë, Sarandë), 11.5 °C (52 °F) in the capital, Tirana, which is located a little further east, while it is around 8 °C (46.5 °F) in the cities located on the eastern hills (see Peshkopi, Korçë).
Rainfall is still abundant on the coast and on the western mountain slopes, during the waves of bad weather that hit the Mediterranean areas, but it is less intense than in autumn and winter. In the eastern areas, precipitation is a little more limited, and as mentioned it can occur in the form of snow.
The highest mountains, on the other hand, are usually covered in snow.
During the month, the
day length gradually increases. On March 20, the spring equinox, the day is 12 hours long all over the world.
