Cities are getting hotter, much hotter, reducing productivity and affecting people's health. The frequency and intensity of extreme heat have increased rapidly since the 1990s.

In the latest World Bank report, it is said that even more worrying is the fact that the intensity of extreme heat events has also increased, albeit more gradually.

Between 1990 and 2040, Durrës will have the highest increase in heat wave magnitude index among a sample of large cities in the region.

After Durrës, temperatures will rise faster in Podgorica, Shkodër, Tirana and Prizren.

The number of heat waves in the world is expected to increase by 4% compared to the average summer, but the temperature in the Western Balkan countries is predicted to increase by up to 7.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels.

A heat measurement campaign conducted in August 2023 revealed changes in near-ground air temperatures experienced by city dwellers in Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Local community volunteers placed temperature and humidity sensors in their vehicles and traveled around their towns to collect thousands of temperature readings, which were used to create heat maps.

In Tirana, Shkodër and Vlorë there was a difference of 4-6°C in the neighborhoods.

Temperatures were higher in neighborhoods with a high density of built-up areas and a lower number of trees.

The Bank suggested that cities should reduce their emissions, not only because this is good for the planet, but also because this will have an immediate improvement on environmental and socio-economic outcomes.
