Using Kutaisi weather information for your plans
Kutaisi weather involves more than choosing a warm month. Rain matters when your plans include canyon paths, a glass panorama platform or an optional boat passage. Use the monthly climate figures to compare seasons, then look at the forecast and visiting arrangements for the day itself. The table describes the city's long-term pattern; individual days and conditions at an excursion site need separate attention.
The figures come from Japan Meteorological Agency ClimatView for station KUTAISI 37395. Their normal period is 1991 to 2020. Temperature means a monthly average, not an afternoon high or an overnight low. That distinction matters when packing: use a daily forecast to judge the temperatures you may experience during a day out.
Monthly temperature and precipitation
These are the JMA station normals for 1991 to 2020. Precipitation is a monthly total expressed in millimetres. It does not describe how many days have rain or whether it falls in short showers or longer spells. Read the two columns together when comparing dates, rather than choosing a month from the temperature column alone.
| Month | Mean temperature °C | Precipitation mm |
|---|---|---|
| January | 7.3 | 98.2 |
| February | 7.6 | 96.4 |
| March | 10.5 | 134.5 |
| April | 12.8 | 88.2 |
| May | 19.0 | 73.9 |
| June | 22.5 | 114.6 |
| July | 23.9 | 81.7 |
| August | 25.3 | 55.1 |
| September | 21.5 | 124.4 |
| October | 17.3 | 145.4 |
| November | 12.1 | 140.5 |
| December | 8.0 | 125.8 |
Within this series August is the warmest and least wet month, while October has the greatest precipitation. January has the lowest mean temperature. Those comparisons help frame a seasonal choice, but August still has rainfall in the normal series. For a visit centred on outdoor stops, keep some room to rearrange your programme. The season guide develops the choice between spring, summer, autumn and winter.

A cave and canyon outing from Kutaisi
Vehicle and language guiding connect Prometheus Cave with Martvili Canyon; plan boat activities around the conditions at the sites.
Rain, water levels and the boat sections
At Prometheus Cave, the guided cave route and the additional boat passage are separate parts of the visit. The protected-area information is undated and states that boat trips stop when the water level rises. Plan around seeing the cave on foot and treat the boat as a conditional addition. Being indoors for part of an excursion does not settle the conditions for the whole day.
At Martvili Canyon, the visitor path and the boat route likewise offer different ways to see the gorge. The undated visitor rules restrict boating in rain or snow. Check the arrangements for your intended visit rather than using the city's monthly rainfall to predict the river. A booking for transport and guiding should be read separately from any optional boat activity.
Visitor paths and viewpoints
Okatse's suspended walkway is an outdoor visitor route. Its protected-area information mentions weather-related path restrictions. At Sataplia, the undated rules restrict access to the glass panorama in rain or snow. These are important distinctions if the viewpoint is the reason you are travelling. Sataplia also has dinosaur footprints, a cave, an exhibition and forest, so decide which parts matter most to you when choosing a visit.
Choosing an excursion with weather in mind
The Prometheus Cave and Martvili Canyon excursion offered here includes an air-conditioned vehicle and English- and Russian-language guiding, along with bottled water and onboard Wi-Fi. Its listed duration is 300 to 360 minutes. Transport connects the two destinations, while weather and water conditions still affect the visitor activities at each place. Choose it for that combination of destinations and services rather than as a promise of an all-weather programme.
For a city-focused alternative, consider the historical museum's archaeological and ecclesiastical collections, allowing a separate visit and checking its hours for your date. Keep the longer outdoor excursion and a city visit as distinct choices. This leaves you a practical decision to make when the short-term forecast becomes useful, instead of requiring every activity to happen on a day selected only from climate averages.
Questions about your visit
Are these temperatures daytime highs?
They are monthly mean temperatures from the JMA normal period 1991 to 2020. Use a forecast for the expected highs and lows on your dates.
Which month is driest in this table?
August has the lowest monthly precipitation in this station series. It still has rainfall, so a visit in August calls for the same attention to daily conditions as another month.
Can I count on a boat ride during a cave or canyon trip?
Treat boat rides as conditional activities. Prometheus depends on water level, and the undated Martvili visitor rules restrict boating in rain or snow. Check the arrangements for your visit.
