Kutaisi enjoys a humid subtropical climate, offering visitors mild winters, long sun-soaked summers, and pleasantly warm springs and autumns. Welcoming guests year-round, the city’s atmosphere is always vibrant — but there are certain times of year when its charm is at its peak.
The most idyllic seasons to visit Kutaisi are early spring, when the city bursts into bloom, and golden autumn, with its warmth and quiet elegance.
Winter in Kutaisi is typically bright and sunny, with daytime temperatures hovering around +6 to +8°C. Some days can feel noticeably warmer, perfect for exploring the city without the crowds. By March, early spring begins to awaken parks and gardens with a profusion of blossoms, and by midday, temperatures often rise to a balmy +15°C under clear skies.
April and May are among the most delightful months for a holiday. These are ideal for leisurely walks through Kutaisi’s lush parks and the tranquil Botanical Garden. May, however, can surprise you with summer-like heat — temperatures can soar to +30°C. Pack your sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and embrace the city’s early season warmth.
Summer stretches generously all the way to mid-October. The hottest month is August, when the city basks in intense sun and heavy heat. For those who prefer more temperate days, autumn is the preferred time to travel. September and early October bring bright, dry weather, with temperatures settling comfortably between +25 and +27°C. The season’s golden sunlight and crisp air make it perfect for strolling along Kutaisi’s historical streets or heading out into the Imereti countryside.
In early autumn, visitors can easily pair their Kutaisi vacation with a seaside escape to Batumi, just a few hours away, or immerse themselves in the region’s culinary culture through a variety of food festivals. These months offer a rich, layered experience — a blend of sun, heritage, and unforgettable flavor.
Whether you come for the flowers of spring, the lazy rhythm of summer, or the harvest glow of autumn, Kutaisi offers a uniquely Georgian welcome in every season.
