Season by season

March–May

Spring

Green hills, blossom and mild days of 15–25 °C in Tbilisi. A great time for city breaks and Kakheti. High mountain passes and treks may still be under snow until late May. Bring a light jacket for showers.

June–August

Summer

Hot in Tbilisi (often 32–38 °C at midday), humid and sunny on the coast: beach season in Batumi. The best months for Kazbegi, Svaneti and Tusheti, where it stays pleasantly cool.

September–November

Autumn

Many people's favourite. Warm, stable weather, the grape harvest (rtveli) in Kakheti, autumn colours in the mountains. The sea stays swimmable into early October. Batumi gets heavy autumn rain.

December–February

Winter

Cold but usually sunny in Tbilisi, with occasional snow. Ski season in Gudauri, Bakuriani and Svaneti runs from about late December to April. The road to Kazbegi can close during storms.

Rain: Batumi is one of the wettest cities in Europe, with the heaviest rain from September to December. Tbilisi is fairly dry year-round, with the wettest weeks in May and June.
