About the weather in Gjirokastra
Climate
Gjirokastra is built on the slope of Mount Gjerë, about 300 metres above sea level, overlooking the Drino valley.

Summer
In July and August average highs are 31°C, with only 5 rainy days and 13–14 hours of sunshine a day. The cobbled streets and stone walls heat up in the afternoon, so the castle and the bazaar are most pleasant in the morning or evening. The 1991–2020 record is 40°C.
