What is the sea temperature in Batumi by month?
When the water is warm and how many sunny days there are.
Short answer
The sea in Batumi is warmest in August, about 25-26 degrees Celsius, usually 24-25 in July and still 23-24 in September. In June the water reaches about 21-22 degrees, it cools to 19-20 in October, and in winter it stays around 9-10 degrees. Swimming is comfortable from late June to late September.
Why
- The Black Sea off Batumi warms more slowly than the air, so the water is warmest in late summer.
- Batumi is one of Georgia's rainiest cities, with fewer sunny days than Tbilisi.
- After heavy rain and wind, the water near the shore turns cooler and murkier for a while.
