🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Early September in Tbilisi is glorious, with daytime temperatures reaching +24°C to +28°C . The air is dry and pleasant, but the sun is still strong—wear sunscreen and a hat. Evenings cool down to a refreshing +14°C , so a light jacket or a stylish trench coat is essential for late-night strolls. As it is the start of the grape harvest season ( Rtveli ), keep an eye out for fresh churchkhela and seasonal fruits at every corner.
