Here’s what you’ll experience on this day:

Weather in Georgia
Georgia experiences a diverse climate, depending on the region and time of year. During the National Day Holiday (late November to early December), expect cooler temperatures as winter approaches.
- Tbilisi: Mild to chilly, with daytime temperatures around 8°C to 12°C (46°F to 54°F). Evenings can be colder, so pack layers for comfort.
- Mountain Regions (Gudauri, Kazbegi): Much colder, especially in higher altitudes, where temperatures may drop below freezing. You can expect snow in these areas, so warm clothing and proper winter gear are essential.
The weather in Georgia is generally unpredictable during this period, so it’s always wise to be prepared for both rain and sunshine.
