Погода: Кутаиси, июнь

June is inside Svaneti's short trekking season - June, July and August are the months for these mountains - and early June is mostly sunny, 20 to 25C by day and chilly at night. The qualification regulars add is that June carries more heavy rain than July, with short snowfalls still possible up at the lakes, so anyone whose trip is mostly high walking should prefer July. Our row is blunt about the rain: 20.2 precipitation days carrying 115.6mm, and 1.3cm of June snow. On roads, Mestia itself is reachable in a 2WD, while Ushguli and the remoter valleys want a 4WD. The record: 20.4C days that feel like 22C, 11.7C nights and 12 hours of sun.

Forum posters cite average November highs across Georgia's lowlands around 12-13C, mild enough for a light jacket by day but genuinely cold at night, with thicker jackets and warm layers recommended for evenings. Posters describe rain as a real possibility in lowland areas like Kutaisi, with snow already starting in the mountains by late October or early November. Posters are consistent that mountain regions run noticeably colder than Tbilisi, Kutaisi or other lowland cities, meaning a trip combining both requires packing for two different climates. Posters generally confirm November remains a workable time to visit Georgia overall despite the cooling temperatures. Posters generally rate November as mild by day, cold by night and occasionally rainy for Kutaisi, with nearby mountain excursions requiring meaningfully warmer gear.

Forum posters call May a good period to visit Georgia's lowlands generally - around 20C with real rain chances, everything intensely green from the spring moisture. Regulars specifically recommend later May over earlier in the month: fewer rainy days by then, with flowers and greenery at their most vivid. Rain in May tends to be short and clears quickly rather than settling in, so posters say it's manageable with a bit of trip flexibility rather than a reason to avoid the month. In the surrounding mountains, though, it's still chilly enough that a warm raincoat stays necessary even as the lowlands warm up - a reminder that Kutaisi's own valley weather doesn't extend to nearby highland day trips like Sataplia Park.
