Empty beaches, traffic heavy on Albanian coast, rain ousted vacationers

After a long period of high temperatures and droughts, Albania is involved this Saturday in heavy rainfall.

The dense morning rain in Coplic caused the city's main roads to be blocked for several minutes because the flue collectors could not afford the high level of flow. In Shkodra, rainfall brought only temperature reductions, while only adventurers experienced coastlines on Velipoja beach.

Rainfalls have included Lezha County, where most vacationers have been forced to interrupt vacations, creating long lines of traffic at the entrance and exit of Lezha as well as on secondary roads.

The coastal city of Vlora also faced heavy rainfall this weekend. Long lines of traffic were set up on the TransBalkan Road, or at the entrance of Vlora, after vacationers decided to cut off the beach, the TCH writes.

In view of the predictable meteorological situation, police appeal to avoid activities at sea because of rising waves at sea that could seriously endanger their lives.

Heavy traffic was created in Durres as many vacationers abandoned the beach. Problems have also been caused in navigation, especially for small - tonnage ships, cruise ships, but the fishing sector has suspended activity pending improved weather conditions.
