What the data actually tells you

Wettest against driest

May delivers 275% more rain than January (75mm vs 20mm). That gap is the difference between planning around showers and ignoring them.

How concentrated the rain is

No single month holds more than 15% of the annual total, so rain in Tbilisi is spread through the year — there is no season you can rely on being dry.

Umbrella or jacket

Tbilisi rain typically comes as discrete showers, so a compact umbrella and a flexible plan are usually enough.

Wet-day frequency

Rain falls on about 14 days in May against 4 in January — the frequency swing matters more for planning than the millimetre totals.

Planning around rain in Tbilisi

How we turn rain data into a yes or no

Rain probability is the chance that at least 0.2mm falls at your location — not how long it rains. For Tbilisi we combine the hourly probability curve, expected volume in millimetres, and the city's own rainfall record into a single umbrella verdict.

FactorWeightWhat it measures
Hourly probability 40% Peak and sustained chance of measurable rain across the next 24 hours.
Expected volume 30% Total millimetres, which separates a passing shower from a genuine soaking.
Timing & duration 20% When rain starts, when it eases, and the longest continuous dry window.
Local rain type 10% Drizzle, brief showers, thunderstorms or monsoon — each needs different gear.
