- Avoid the Pshaveli–Abano–Omalo road between km22 and km72, and expect a closure at km26 of the Vaziani–Gombori–Telavi road in Kakheti.
- Drive the Zugdidi–Jvari–Mestia–Lasdili route with confidence, as the km177–km178 section and the Lechuri–Omalo (Tusheti) stretch for high-clearance vehicles are both open again.
- Pack warm layers for Gudauri and Mestia where temperatures drop near freezing overnight, but light clothing suffices in Batumi and Kutaisi with daytime highs near 24–28°C.
Tuesday brings mild overcast conditions to Tbilisi (16/13°C) and Telavi, where fog and a 20% rain chance linger, while the coast stays warm with Batumi at 28°C and Kutaisi at 24°C; in the mountains, Gudauri sits near freezing under fog (6/1°C) and Mestia sees a wide swing to 3°C overnight. The Pshaveli–Abano–Omalo road remains closed between km22 and km72, and the dollar trades at 2.597 GEL today.
