Tbilisi Weather in March
Tbilisi weather in March marks the turn of the season. Average highs leap to about 14 °C (57 °F), close to five degrees up on February, and April adds five more on top. Nights are still cool at around 4 °C (39 °F). Rain stays modest, about 29 mm on five days, but March shares the cloudiest skies of the year with April, so soft, overcast light is more common than deep blue sky.
What to wear in Tbilisi in March
Think spring layers rather than winter armour: a light padded jacket or wool coat, a sweater you can take off at lunch, and a scarf. Tbilisi is a breezy city, and March gusts feel colder than the thermometer suggests. A compact umbrella covers the few wet days.
What March is good for
Flower sellers are everywhere around 3 March, Mother's Day, and 8 March, International Women's Day, both public holidays. Cool, dry days suit long walks through Sololaki and the Betlemi Quarter before the heat arrives. Mtskheta and Telavi warm to about 13 °C, comfortable for monastery visits. Gudauri still offers spring skiing, and Kazbegi averages about 5 °C by day, with snow usually still lying around Gergeti Trinity Church. Check the road past Gudauri, which can close after snowfall.

Tbilisi in March: FAQ
Do you need a coat in Tbilisi in March?
Yes, though a lighter one than in winter. The weather in Tbilisi in March brings afternoons of about 14 °C (57 °F) and mornings near 4 °C (39 °F), and the wind adds a chill. A jacket you can open or carry, with a sweater underneath, works for most days.
Is there still snow at Gudauri in March?
Usually, yes. Gudauri, about two hours north of Tbilisi, stays in ski season through March, with afternoons near 2 °C (36 °F) and nights around -7 °C. Late in the month the snow tends to soften after lunch, so ski in the morning. The Military Road above the resort can still close after a heavy fall.
