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.
Tip
October is great for Kakheti and Tbilisi, but cool and rainy for the sea.
