Batumi Weather in September
Batumi weather in September holds a paradox: it is the wettest month of the year, with about 330 mm of rain, yet that falls on only around 11 days, fewer than in August. The water arrives in heavy downpours, and the days between can be bright and warm. The sea holds at about 25 °C (77 °F), nearly as warm as July, and afternoons average the same figure, three degrees below August. October is cooler and almost as wet.
What to wear in Batumi in September
Bring summer clothes and swimwear, but leave real space for rain gear: a proper waterproof jacket, an umbrella and shoes that cope with standing water after a downpour. A light sweater helps by the end of the month, when nights slip toward 18 °C and below.
What September is good for
This is the velvet season: warm water and fewer families once schools go back. Batumoba, the city festival with concerts and fireworks, has in some recent years been held on the first weekend of September, so check the date. Kutaisi, at about 27 °C, is far drier for Gelati and Bagrati. Khulo stays warm at about 24 °C, and Goderdzi, near 18 °C, is lovely for walks before autumn sets in.

Batumi in September: FAQ
Does it rain a lot in Batumi in September?
Yes, by total: around 330 mm, the most of any month. But it falls on only about 11 days, usually as intense downpours rather than steady drizzle, so the weather in Batumi in September still leaves many dry, warm days. Keep plans flexible and save the Argo Cable Car for when the sky clears.
What is the velvet season in Batumi?
The phrase, common along the Black Sea coast, describes early autumn, when the water still averages about 25 °C (77 °F), almost the same as July, and the school-holiday crowds have gone. Early September is warmest. By October the sea drops to around 21 °C (70 °F), so plan swimming-focused trips for the first three weeks.
