Does Scarborough get much fog?
Yes, particularly in spring and autumn. When mild, moist air moves over the cooler North Sea, sea fog (or haar) can roll in, reducing visibility to under 200 metres along the seafront. It usually clears by late morning as the land warms.
Is the wind strong enough for watersports?
Frequently. The prevailing south-westerly wind funnels along the bay, creating consistent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The best months for reliable winds are March to May and September to November, with gusts often reaching 20–25 knots.
When is the driest month in Scarborough?
February and May are typically the driest, each averaging around 45 mm of rainfall. July and August are the wettest, due to more frequent convective showers. However, Scarborough’s annual rainfall is lower than many inland Yorkshire towns, thanks to the rain shadow of the North York Moors.
