Some 5 districts may be affected by rain storms during the following hours. The alert was given by the Institute of Geo-science, Energy, Water and Environment (IGEWE) through a press release on Saturday.

According to IGEWE the districts of Shkodra, Kukes, Dibra, Elbasan and Gjirokastra may experience powerful rain storms that may generate massive flooding. Meantime snowfalls are expected to be registered in rural areas.

IGEWE alert aims to serve as alarm bell for the local authorities urging them to take the necessary precautions in order to avoid a problematic situation by the floods like those registered a few days ago.
