Eight counties in the country will face a high risk of wildfires this weekend, with temperatures expected to reach up to 39 degrees Celsius.

The warning comes from the Institute of Geosciences through the Hazard Bulletin, which emphasizes that atmospheric conditions favor the spread of flames, especially in the Western Lowlands.

According to the institute, the regions most exposed to the risk are Lezha, Durrës, Tirana, Elbasan, Fier, Berat, Gjirokastra and Vlora. Meanwhile, in Shkodër, Kukës, Dibër and Korçë the risk is assessed as lower, but in some specific areas it is also expected to be high.

In the Çikalleshi area in Kavajë and in Mallakastër, the flames have been isolated and the situation appears to be under control.
