Tbilisi Weather in October
Tbilisi weather in October is mild, golden and kind to walkers. Afternoons average about 20 °C (68 °F), six and a half degrees cooler than September, and nights drop to roughly 11 °C (52 °F). Rain picks up a little, to about 46 mm over six days. November then cools sharply to around 13 °C, so the first half of October tends to feel warmest. Shorter days are the trade-off, with sunset around 18:21.
What to wear in Tbilisi in October
Bring a light jacket or warm overshirt for daytime and a sweater for the evening, plus a compact umbrella. Comfortable walking shoes matter during Tbilisoba, when the Old Town fills with stalls and crowds. For a trip up to Kazbegi, pack a proper warm jacket and a hat.
