What is summer rain like in Tbilisi — heavy downpours or light showers?

Weather forecasts for Tbilisi often show rain that's actually falling in nearby mountains, not in the city itself. Even when it does rain, it's warm and everything dries quickly.

Summer rains in Tbilisi are usually short-lived — a brief shower and then it's over. The warm climate means it stays pleasant even after rain.

A week-long forecast full of rain icons in Tbilisi is not cause for alarm. Summer weather there is changeable, and reality is often better than what multi-day forecasts suggest.
