Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from WMO SYNOP bulletins at TIRANA-LA PRAKA. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
35.5°F between August and January, the 59th widest swing among the 230 capitals ranked here. The big figure on each card is the average high for that month across the whole record; the two lines beneath it are the hottest and coldest days ever recorded in it.

When did temperature records begin in Tirana?+−
The archive held here for Tirana, Albania starts in 1940, which is 60 years of record, and 20,401 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Tirana's temperature?+−
TIRANA-LA PRAKA (WMO 13601), 90 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from WMO SYNOP bulletins and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Tirana's record?+−
The record runs from 1940 to 2000, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 55 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 56. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Tirana getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 56 Augusts between 1940 and 2000, the average August high at TIRANA-LA PRAKA has risen about 0.2°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does Tirana compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 160th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 59th by the width of its annual swing. Montevideo, Lisbon, Sucre sit closest to it on that ranking.
When is Tirana hottest?+−
August, averaging 88.0°F across the record, with January the coolest at 52.5°F. That is a swing of 35.5°F across the year.
