What is the weather like in Georgia in May?
Warm, green and one of the best times to visit.
Short answer
May is one of the best months to visit Georgia: Tbilisi usually reaches 20-25°C by day and Batumi about 20°C, with everything green and blooming. The sea is still cool at around 16-18°C, so few people swim. Snow melts in the mountains and trails open, while Tbilisi gets short downpours.
Why
- 9 and 12 May are public holidays, and 26 May is Independence Day.
- May has neither summer heat nor crowds.
- High mountain roads, such as to Tusheti, open later, closer to June.
Details
Bring a light jacket for evenings and an umbrella. For a beach holiday wait for June, but for cities and sightseeing May is ideal.
Tip
May is great for cities and sightseeing; for sea swimming, wait until June.
