Georgia: when to go?
continental humide climate
Georgia offers a varied continental climate with hot summers and harsh winters. The country enjoys four distinct seasons: a cold winter from December to February with temperatures often below freezing, a mild and flowery spring from April to May, a hot summer from June to August with temperatures that can exceed 30°C, and a golden autumn from September to November. Rainfall is moderate, distributed throughout the year with a peak in spring. The best time to visit Georgia extends from May to June and from September to October, when temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is limited. These months offer perfect conditions for exploring Tbilisi, discovering the wine region of Kakheti or hiking in the Caucasus. Summer can be very hot in the city but remains ideal for the mountains, while winter, despite the cold, reveals a particular charm with its snowy landscapes.
