- Avoid driving the Goderdzi Pass–Beshumi road and the Bakuriani–Ghadolari section, both closed to traffic today.
- In Mestia, expect freezing rain and icy patches; delay non-essential travel through the Svaneti highlands.
- Carry rain gear in Batumi and Kutaisi, and dress warmly for Gudauri and Kazbegi where daytime highs stay near freezing to single digits.
Rain is widespread across the lowlands today, with Batumi and Kutaisi seeing the heaviest showers and Tbilisi and Telavi cooler and damp; in the mountains, Mestia has freezing rain and Gudauri stays cold and wet, so road conditions there need caution. The Goderdzi Pass–Beshumi road is fully closed to vehicles, and the US dollar trades near 2.59 GEL.
