Sun and Moon
Daylight decides how much you can do in the mountains, and the Moon how dark the night will be for stargazing
Sun
Set off early enough to come down from the passes before sunset: mountain roads are noticeably more dangerous in the dark.

Mountain weather in Georgia: what to know
In Georgia’s mountains the weather depends on altitude: for every 100 m of climb the air is on average about 0.6 °C colder, so the Tbilisi forecast does not work for Kazbegi, Gudauri or Ushguli.

Hiking season in Kazbegi and Svaneti runs from late May to October; the ski season in Gudauri, Bakuriani and Goderdzi is usually December to March. The road to Tusheti over the Abano Pass is open only in summer.
The forecast on this page refreshes every time you open it. For each spot it is calculated at that spot’s altitude, and the day status shows how comfortable the trip will be: precipitation, wind, visibility and cloud cover.
Questions and answers
Where does the forecast data come from?
From the open Open-Meteo service: it combines global and regional weather models and updates every hour. The forecast is calculated for each spot’s altitude, so in Gudauri and on the Jvari Pass it is colder than in Tbilisi.
What do the statuses “Excellent”, “Good”, “Caution” and “Poor” mean?
“Poor” means precipitation from 2 mm per hour, snow from 1 cm per hour, wind gusts from 60 km/h or visibility under 1 km. “Caution” means precipitation from 0.3 mm per hour, gusts from 40 km/h, visibility under 5 km or cloud cover from 90%. “Good” means cloud cover from 50%. Everything else is “Excellent”.
How accurate is the mountain forecast?
Mountain weather changes faster than in the city. For 1–3 days the forecast is reliable for planning a trip; beyond that it shows the general trend: warm or cold, dry or snowy.
Will the road to Kazbegi over the Jvari Pass be open?
In heavy snowfall or when avalanches threaten, the stretch of the Georgian Military Highway near the Jvari Pass is closed temporarily. This page shows the risk from the snow forecast; the official road status is published by the Roads Department of Georgia at georoad.gov.ge.
When is the best time to set off for the mountains?
Usually in the morning: clouds and precipitation in the mountains tend to build up after midday. The “When and where to go today” table shows the best forecast window of the day for each spot.
