- Carry a rain jacket in Tbilisi and especially Telavi, where thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected through the day.
- Avoid the Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo road (km22-72, banned) and plan around the Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni closure (km107-112) if heading toward Omalo or Mamisoni.
- Pack warm, waterproof layers for Gudauri and Stepantsminda (Kazbegi), where rain showers and highs near 7-12°C will make outdoor time damp and cold.
