Weather & seasons
When to visit Batumi
Batumi has a humid Black Sea climate with warm, muggy summers, mild-to-cool winters and rainfall throughout the year. July and August are the main beach months. Autumn can remain pleasantly warm, but rainfall becomes more frequent. Travelers should plan for sudden showers even outside the wettest periods.
