Albania Sea Temperature in August
Historical 30-year sea surface temperatures across 21 coastlines in Albania for August. Derived from NOAA 0.25° blended satellite and in-situ marine observations.
Notice: 30-year historical climatological monthly mean (1991–2020), not a live single-day sensor forecast.
Ionian Deep Basin vs Northern Adriatic Shelf
Albania spans two distinct marine regimes: the northern Adriatic shelf (sandy, shallower, warming quickly in June but peaking around 24.5°C) and the southern Ionian Riviera (Ksamil, Himara, Saranda), where deep underwater drop-offs create immense crystal-clear water masses that reach 25.3°C in August and retain 24.3°C well into September.
Oceanographic Phenomenon:
Dual Basin Continental Transition
Thermal Lag Characteristic:
Substantial thermal lag and retention in the southern Ionian: September sea temperatures (24.3°C) are significantly warmer than June (22.1°C), providing an extended autumn bathing window.
Peak Bathing Average:
August (25.3°C)
