Tbilisi in December
Not the best time
December starts the low season with dropping temperatures and tourist numbers. Great for budget travelers who don't mind bundling up.
Weather
December brings winter's chill with temperatures often staying below 10°C during the day. Rain mixes with occasional snow and the days become noticeably shorter. Humidity stays high during rainy spells but drops when cold fronts move through from the north.

All Months
April through June is sweet spot territory. The weather's mild, flowers are blooming in the botanical gardens, and you can walk around without melting. May hits particularly well — warm days, cool nights, and everything's green. September and October work too. You'll catch the grape harvest season, which means wine festivals and perfect temperatures for exploring. Summer gets brutal. July and August see temperatures pushing 35°C (95°F) with humidity that'll have you seeking shelter by noon. But here's the upside — this is when the outdoor bars and rooftop terraces really come alive. Winter isn't off-limits, just different. December through February brings occasional snow and temperatures around freezing. The sulfur baths feel even better when it's cold outside, and you'll have tourist sites mostly to yourself. Plus, winter is when locals really embrace the supra (feast) culture.
