Is it safe to travel to North Macedonia?
North Macedonia records two kinds of hazard above all: fires in the open country and floods. Over the last 12 months, 16 events were logged, 5 of them severe. Fires account for 11 of those, 4 of them severe; floods for 5, 1 of them severe. Both follow a season here. The year is very concentrated: August alone carries 11 of the 16 events, while February, June and July hold 1 each and January 2. The overall risk level is 3 out of 4. No state currently advises against travel to the country. Recorded homicides run at 1.5 per 100,000 people, against a world median of 2.1; that number covers homicide only and says nothing about theft or scams. The data does not pin down where events land, so no region is named here.
What it changes for a nomad
For a stay of several weeks, the calendar matters more than the map. August concentrates almost everything, so a summer stay near dry hills means smoke and closed roads. Spring and early summer are the quietest stretch in the record. Floods are the other seasonal hazard: heavy rain can cut a road or a bus line for a day or two, and that is enough to break a week of client calls. Plan a fallback for power and connectivity, and pick a place where a short outage is not a problem. Two alerts are live at the moment, so read what they cover before you book a flat or move between towns. The overall level is 3 out of 4, which means disruption belongs in the plan rather than outside it.

August 21, 2026
Over the last 12 months, North Macedonia experienced 12 notable events, mainly wildfires and floods. Wildfires occurred 7 times, with 4 being severe, mostly in August. Floods happened 5 times, with 1 severe incident, also mostly in August. The country has a homicide rate of 1.5 per 100k, below the world median of 2.1. No armed conflict or major security issues are recorded. Recent severe events are absent, but natural hazards like wildfires and floods are common during summer and winter months. The country’s risks are seasonal, with August being the busiest month for hazards.
To watch right now
- Two alerts are live in the country; read what they cover before you cross the area they concern.
- The two standing events are a fire and a flood, both at severity 3 out of 4, so local roads and transport can be affected.
To watch as a rule
- Fires in the dry season, the most frequent hazard here, with 11 events and 4 severe ones over the last 12 months.
- Floods after heavy rain, 5 events over the last 12 months, 1 of them severe.
- August, which on its own carries 11 of the 16 events recorded.
Good reflexes
- Check the fire map on the morning you plan a hike or a drive through dry hills.
- Keep a charged power bank in your bag through the summer months.
- Ask your host how the building copes with a power cut and where the water valve is.
- Close the windows and work indoors when smoke settles over the valley.
- After heavy rain, confirm the road is open before a long bus or car trip.
