What is the weather like in Georgia in October?
Tbilisi, Batumi, the sea and the mountains in mid-autumn.
Short answer
October in Georgia is warm and mild: Tbilisi usually reaches 15-22°C by day, Batumi about 20°C, and the sea cools to around 19-20°C, though rain becomes more frequent. The mountains are already cool, and the first snow may fall at altitude. It is a good month for sightseeing, the Kakheti grape harvest and the Tbilisoba festival.
Why
- Swimming in Batumi is still possible in early October, but the water cools by month's end.
- Rtveli, the grape harvest, often continues in Kakheti until mid-October.
- 14 October is Svetitskhovloba, an official public holiday in Georgia.
Details
Bring a light jacket and umbrella, plus warm clothes for the mountains. Accommodation in Batumi is much cheaper in October than in summer.
