TL;DR
August in Batumi is hot and humid (+30-33°C, sea +26-27°C) so pack light cotton/linen clothes and sun protection; by late September-October it cools to +20-25°C during the day and +15-18°C at night, so bring layers and a light rain jacket.
August brings high heat and humidity — daytime +30-33°C, sea water at +26-27°C. Pack cotton/linen clothing, swimwear, SPF50 sunscreen, and a hat. Evenings on the seaside boulevard can be windy, so a light long-sleeve shirt is handy.
By late September-early October the weather softens: around +22-25°C during the day, dropping to +15-18°C in the evening. It's noticeably different from summer, so pack layers — t-shirts plus a light sweater or jacket, comfortable closed shoes for walking, and a compact raincoat or umbrella for autumn showers.
If traveling with only a 10 kg carry-on for a longer trip, it's better to pack a capsule wardrobe of quick-dry fabrics, bring one pair of sandals plus sneakers, and buy any missing items locally — Batumi has large shopping malls like Batumi Mall and Skala Mall with affordable prices.
Even in early summer (June) it's easy to misjudge — Batumi's subtropical climate can bring only +21-23°C, noticeably cooler than peak summer, so it's worth checking the forecast for your exact travel dates rather than assuming 'typical seaside summer' weather.
