The significant drop in temperatures over the past few hours has returned snowfall to several areas of the country, mainly in mountainous territories, creating an unusual situation for the spring season.

Snowfall has been recorded in Dajti Mountain, Gjinar, Fushë-Studë, as well as in some areas of the Dibra region, where snow has fallen to about 700 meters above sea level, including villages near Peshkopia. According to reports from the field, temperatures have not dropped below zero and so far no damage to fruit trees has been reported, as some of the crops are still in the early stages of flowering.

At the same time, heavy snowfall during the night has also affected the Elbasan region, covering dozens of villages in the municipalities of Elbasan, Librazhd, Gramsh and Përrenjas. The thickness of the snow ranges from 15 to 25 centimeters, while the precipitation began around 20:30 and continued until after midnight.

The most affected areas are the Shebenik National Park, Fushë Studeni and several villages above 800 meters in Librazhd, such as Orenja, Qarrishta, Dragostunja, Polisia, Babja, Dardha and Xhyra. However, this morning is without precipitation and no traffic problems are reported, while rural roads remain passable.
