When is the rainy season in Georgia?
How rainfall is spread across the west, east and mountains.
Short answer
Georgia has no single rainy season: in the west, in Batumi and Adjara, it rains all year round, most heavily in autumn and winter. In Tbilisi and the east, most rain falls in late spring and early summer, in May and June. Summers in the east are usually dry and hot.
Why
- The west of the country is open to moist air from the Black Sea.
- The east is separated by the Likhi Range and gets far less rain.
- Spring downpours in the east are often short but can be heavy.
Details
If you're going to Batumi, allow for rainy days in any season. In Kakheti and Tbilisi the driest months are usually July, August and early autumn.
Tip
Heading to Batumi in autumn? Pack waterproof shoes and plan museums for rainy days.
