Climate of Georgia is various and depends on a region: subtropical on the West and moderate on the East. Throughout the country the climate situation is complicated by the influence of the mountains, because the major part of mountain ranges stretch from the west to the east and even the most remote regions receive warm Black Sea air masses.
The climate of Georgia is unique. For a short period of time you can observe the wonders of the four seasons. Actually within one or two days you can see snow-capped peaks, young grass, flowers in the low hills, mist with a rain in the mountains and the sunny summer on the Black Sea shore.
Average January temperature fluctuates from +3-9 °С (in Colchis lowland and in Adjara) to -2 °С (in Iberia). In alpine and highland regions of Svaneti and Javakheti winter temperature can fall to -16-20 °С. Summer in Georgia is hot and somewhere is sultry. In Tbilisi the summer temperature can reach up to 35-40 °С. The maximum precipitation occurs in the autumn and winter. Heavy snowfall occurs mainly in the mountains, which does not thaw until April.
