Forecasters have issued a severe weather warning for western Georgia, including Adjara, from the afternoon of 26 July through the morning of 27 July. The system is expected to bring heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms across coastal and inland regions.
Sea conditions and high winds
Strong western winds are forecast to sweep across the region during the storm window. Maritime authorities warn of rough coastal waters, with sea conditions potentially reaching force-4 storm intensity along the Black Sea shoreline.
Residents and visitors in Batumi and neighboring coastal areas are advised to avoid swimming in the sea and stay clear of waterfront promenades during peak wave activity.
River swells and landslide hazard
Sustained downpours may cause sharp rises in river levels across western catchments. Emergency services caution that hilly and mountainous terrain faces a heightened risk of landslides and mudflows.
Travelers are urged to postpone trips to mountain districts until conditions stabilize, exercise caution on regional roads, and follow local safety guidance.
