Examining whether Dayboro is experiencing warming or cooling trends using local weather station data and long-term temperature records from South East Queensland.

Dayboro: Warming or Cooling?

Annual temperature and rainfall trends from our on-site weather station, going back to 2006. Every data point is measured here in Dayboro, not interpolated or averaged from distant stations.

Station: Lyndhurst Hill, Dayboro

That's the question everyone asks, so here's what our own station on Lyndhurst Hill actually says, not a BOM gauge 50 km away, not satellite estimates, not interpolated data from the coast. Twenty years of measurements, right here in Dayboro.

The short answer: the trend line says it's warming slightly. But the year-to-year swings are enormous, 2017 and 2018 ran unusually cool, 2023 came in as one of the warmest on record. Rainfall bounces around even more. Make of that what you will.
