Does Scarborough get much fog compared to inland Yorkshire?
Yes — sea fog and low stratus are common in spring and early summer, especially overnight and into mid-morning. Visibility improves as the land warms and sea breezes strengthen.
How does Scarborough weather differ from Whitby?
Whitby sits further north on a more exposed headland, so it often gets stronger winds and slightly cooler temperatures. Scarborough’s South Bay is more sheltered, especially in southerly flows.
