May in Dayboro presents a transitional climate as the town moves towards the cooler temperatures of the approaching winter.
This month is marked by two significant local events: the Dayboro Rodeo on the 5th and Dayboro Day on the 26th. On the 5th, weather conditions are expected to be light rains and gusty, with a daytime high of 21°C—poor ordinary day.
However, as the month progresses, temperatures slightly drop and the chance of precipitation increases. By the 26th, during Dayboro Day, the forecast suggests cooler weather with a high of 21°C and a 40% probability of rain, which could impact outdoor activities.
Attendees of both events are advised to check closer to the dates for more accurate weather updates and come prepared for the expected conditions.
Temperature:
- Average High: 24°C
- Average Low: 15°C
Temperatures are expected to gradually decrease over the month, with cooler mornings becoming more common as winter approaches.
Precipitation:
- Average Rainfall: 90 mm
- Rainy Days: Rain is expected on approximately nine days throughout the month, with a higher likelihood of rain in the first half.
Wind:
- Average Wind Speed: 10 km/h
- Dominant Direction: South-East
- Winds are expected to be mild, with occasional gusts during thunderstorms.
Key Events:
- May 5-6: A cold front moving from the south might bring brief showers and gusty winds.
- Mid-May: Around May 15, a high-pressure system will likely settle over the area, leading to dry and clear days.
- Late May: Towards the end of the month, there may be an increase in cloud cover (NO, it is not geoengineering:-)) and a slight chance of rain due to a developing coastal low.
Day-by-Day Forecast:
- May 1: Partly cloudy, with a slight chance of a morning shower. High of 24°C, low of 16°C.
- May 2: Mostly sunny, with winds picking up in the afternoon. The high will be 24°C, and the low will be 15°C.
- May 3: Clear skies, calm day. High of 23°C, low of 14°C.
- May 4: Increasing cloudiness, the possibility of night rain. High of 22°C, low of 16°C.
- May 5: Light rain, gusty winds. High of 21°C, low of 14°C.
- May 6: Showers early, clearing later. High of 22°C, low of 15°C.
- May 7 to May 31: Alternating sunny and cloudy days with occasional showers, particularly towards the end of the month as temperatures gradually decrease. That said, we might be OK for the Dayboro Rodeo Day. I am quietly confident that the rain will be on the 6th, and the 7th will be AWESOME. Either way we all should GO.
Special Notes:
- Residents and visitors are advised to prepare for cooler evenings by mid-May.
- Farmers should prepare for the season’s first frost, likely towards the end of the month.
