When does swimming season start in Batumi, and are there jellyfish?
Season dates and the jellyfish found in the Black Sea.
Short answer
Swimming season in Batumi starts in late June and lasts until late September, and in warm years until mid-October. There are jellyfish in the Black Sea, mostly in the second half of summer, but none are dangerous: the moon jellyfish barely stings, and the barrel jellyfish can cause a mild burn. Jellyfish blooms are usually smaller in Batumi than in the northern part of the sea.
Why
- The water in Batumi warms to a comfortable 21-22°C by late June.
- The Black Sea has mainly two stinging jellyfish: the moon jellyfish and the barrel jellyfish.
- Jellyfish numbers depend on water temperature and currents and vary from year to year.
Details
If stung, rinse the skin with seawater, don't rub it and don't use fresh water. For a strong reaction, especially in children, see the beach medic or call 112.
