The coastal lowlands have typically mediterranean climate; the highlands have a continental climate. In both the lowlands and the interior, the weather varies markedly from north to south. </p><p>Inland temperatures are affected more by differences in elevation than by latitude or any other factor. Low winter temperatures in the mountains are caused by the continental air mass that dominates the weather in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Northerly and northeasterly winds blow much of the time. Average summer temperatures are lower than in the coastal areas and much lower at higher elevations, but daily fluctuations are greater. Daytime maximum temperatures in the interior basins and river valleys are very high, but the nights are almost always cool. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biodiversity">Biodiversity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Environment_of_Albania&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Biodiversity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Biodiversity_of_Albania" title="Biodiversity of Albania">Biodiversity</a> and <a href="/wiki/Protected_areas_of_Albania" title="Protected areas of Albania">Protected areas of Albania</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/20px-Commons-logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="16" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/40px-Commons-logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1376" /></span></span> See also: <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Biodiversity_of_Albania" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Biodiversity of Albania">Biodiversity of Albania</a> and <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Protected_areas_of_Albania" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Protected areas of Albania">Protected areas of Albania</a> at <a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_Commons" title="Wikimedia Commons">Wikimedia Commons</a></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Butrint_Panorama.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Butrint_Panorama.jpg/250px-Butrint_Panorama.jpg" decoding="async" width="230" height="81" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Butrint_Panorama.jpg/500px-Butrint_Panorama.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="7480" data-file-height="2621" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Butrint_National_Park" title="Butrint National Park">Butrint National Park</a>, a <a href="/wiki/UNESCO" title="UNESCO">UNESCO</a> <a href="/wiki/World_Heritage_Site" title="World Heritage Site">World Heritage Site</a></figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Phytogeographically" class="mw-redirect" title="Phytogeographically">Phytogeographically</a>, Albania is part of the <a href="/wiki/Boreal_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Boreal Kingdom">Boreal Kingdom</a> specifically, part of the <a href="/wiki/Illyrian_Provinces" title="Illyrian Provinces">Illyrian</a> province of the <a href="/wiki/Circumboreal_Region" title="Circumboreal Region">Circumboreal Region</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Basin" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediterranean Basin">Mediterranean region</a> within the <a href="/wiki/Boreal_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Boreal Kingdom">Boreal kingdom</a>.
