An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. Global distribution of wind speed at 10m above ground averaged over the years 1981–2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1] In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in ...

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy (Albanian: Ministria e Infrastrukturës dhe Energjisë) is a department of the Albanian Government, responsible for national climate policy and international cooperation on climate change, as well as energy issues, meteorology and national geological surveys, electricity, water, wastewater services and industry in Albania.
A short burst of high speed wind is termed a wind gust; one technical definition of a wind gust is: the maxima that exceed the lowest wind speed measured during a ten-minute time interval by 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) for periods of seconds. A squall is an increase of the wind speed above a certain threshold, which lasts for a minute or more.
A wind gust or just gust is a brief, sudden increase in the wind speed. It usually lasts for less than 20 seconds, briefer than a squall, which lasts minutes. A gust is followed by a lull (or slackening) in the wind speed. [1] Generally, winds are least gusty over large water surfaces and most gusty over rough land and near high buildings. [2]
Maja e Thatë (lit. ' Dry Peak ' ) is a 2,406-metre-high (7,894 ft) mountain peak of the Albanian Alps ( Accursed Mountains ) in Albania . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is located within Valbonë Valley National Park , roughly 2 km (1 mi) northwest of Valbonë and rises more than 1,500 m (4,921 ft) above the village.
Albania has a variety of climate systems. With its coastline facing the Adriatic and Ionian seas in the Mediterranean sea, its highlands backed upon the elevated Balkan landmass, and the entire country lying at a latitude subject to a variety of weather patterns during the winter and summer seasons, however it has a high number of climatic regions for such a small area.
