What you gain in August

  • Consistently dry weather: just 35mm across the month and 8.9 sunshine hours daily; August is dependably fine with virtually no rain to disrupt plans
  • Late August signals the beginning of Rtveli preparations — the grape harvest in Kakheti starts in some vineyards by late August and the entire city feels the approaching wine season
  • The Tbilisi Open Air music festival (if scheduled for August) brings Georgian and international music to the Mtatsminda Park area

What you sacrifice

  • Temperature matches July's 31°C peak — the same heat management challenges apply; those sensitive to heat should wait until September
  • August is when the European tourist season and the Georgian summer holiday overlap; the combination produces the most crowded version of the city
  • Accommodation prices remain at or near peak; budget-conscious visitors should note that August and July are the two most expensive months in Tbilisi's calendar
