ウィットビー 7月の天気

The most useful July advice on the York forum is about the clock, not the sky. Regulars say the city is busy through the day - the Shambles in particular gets packed - and that crowds drop away sharply in the evening, which is the nicer time to walk the streets. Shops in the centre generally stay open until 20:00, with pubs, restaurants and things to do running well past that, so an evening arrival is not a wasted one. The one hard deadline is the city walls, which close at dusk: about 9pm in July. Weather-wise the expectation is very warm and sunny, especially before the school holidays start, with showers that do not tend to last. The record: 21.8C days, 11.9C nights, 11.1 precipitation days and 73.5mm, 10.8 hours of sun inside 16.5 hours of daylight, AQI 32.

Forum posters describe February in Whitby as a bit chilly, overcast and foggy, though still enjoyable for a visit. Posters consistently note the town stays quieter than summer but only a little cooler, with most shops remaining open and plenty to do despite the reduced crowds. Posters describe February's daylight as steadily lengthening through the month, with dusk arriving around 5pm early on and pushing later as the month progresses. Posters generally recommend embracing the quieter, moodier coastal atmosphere as part of February's appeal rather than a drawback. Posters generally rate February as cool, gray and often foggy but genuinely pleasant for a low-key Whitby visit.

August is peak season in Whitby and the forum is emphatic: absolutely heaving, especially once the North Yorkshire school holidays start, with parking a nightmare and restaurant tables hard to come by. Most self-catering lets go by the whole week, Friday to Friday or Saturday to Saturday. On weather, the coastal caveat matters — a north-easterly off the sea can drop the temperature by as much as 8°C compared with inland, against an August average of only 18°C here and a sea at 15. One visitor reports 27°C days, so it does happen. The regulars' honest line is that Whitby is lovely and better outside peak season.
