In the past 24 hours, heavy rainfall in the city of Shkodër has resulted in the flooding of the city's central areas. Water levels have risen between 20 and 30 cm, creating significant challenges for pedestrians and temporarily disrupting vehicle traffic. The intense rain has led to blocked streets and difficult conditions for citizens trying to move around.

Workers from the local water and sewage services have been on the ground, working to stabilize the situation. Efforts are focused on clearing the water and ensuring that traffic can flow more smoothly again. However, weather forecasts predict that heavy rainfall will continue across the Shkodër region throughout the evening.
The road leading to the 'Isa Boletini' square in the Parrucë area has been especially impacted, with traffic severely hindered. This is the second time in a short period that Shkodër’s streets have experienced flooding due to heavy rainfall.
Given the weather forecast, which indicates continued rain on Wednesday and Thursday, the local civil emergency services have mobilized in preparation for further challenges. Authorities are coordinating efforts to manage potential flooding and to mitigate the effects on daily life in the city.
The frequent flooding is becoming a recurring problem, underscoring the need for more effective infrastructure and emergency response strategies to address the impact of these increasingly severe weather events.
