High / low are average daily temperatures (°C). “Feels” reflects how hot or cold it feels, allowing for humidity.
Black Sea Coast (Batumi, Kobuleti, Adjara)
November brings frequent rain and cooler, raw days; daytime highs often hover around 8-12°C and heavy offshore storms can make the sea rough and grey. This is off-season for seaside tourism, so many hotels offer lower rates, but outdoor plans may need frequent adjustment for downpours and strong winds. If you don’t mind wet weather, the region’s tea plantations and fortress walks are quieter and evocative - just carry a reliable raincoat.
Imereti & Samegrelo (Kutaisi, Gelati, Martvili)
October cools quickly and rain rises; daytime highs fall into the high single digits to mid-teens and misty mornings are common in the lowlands. Tourist numbers drop and several rural guesthouses close for the season, but the changing leaves around mountain passes make for striking drives. Prepare for muddy trails and carry layers and waterproofs; indoor cultural visits (museums, churches) are pleasant in quieter conditions.
Tbilisi & Kakheti (Eastern Georgia - capital and wine country)
November cools quickly and cloudier, wetter days become more frequent in the capital; daytime temperatures drop into the single digits and frost becomes possible at night in Kakheti’s higher vineyards. Many rural roads in eastern Georgia turn muddy and mountain passes may start seeing snow, so plan for slower drives. This is a quieter month for tourism - good for museum visits and indoor tastings - so bring a warm coat and weatherproof footwear.
Greater Caucasus & Svaneti (Stepantsminda/Kazbegi, Mestia, Ushguli)
October cools quickly and the high mountains can see early heavy snow, especially above 2000-2500 m, which can strand some villages or close passes. Lower valleys in Svaneti still offer dramatic autumn scenery but expect colder nights and the start of winter servicing schedules. If traveling, bring cold-weather gear and expect that some trails may already be icy or closed.
Southern Highlands & Javakheti (Borjomi, Akhaltsikhe, Javakheti Plateau)
October can be crisp and often wet, with daytime temperatures falling into the high single digits to low teens and the first frosts possible at night on the plateau. Roads may become muddier and some trails slippery but autumnal colours on the hillsides are rewarding to see. Pack warm clothing and waterproofs; this is a quieter, reflective time for travelers who don’t mind cooler, occasionally unpredictable conditions.
