Day picker added to both calculators

The Spray Window Calculator and Solar Calculator now step through the full Dayboro Model week-ahead forecast. Pick any day, see conditions for that day. Member feature.

I added a day picker to both calculators this week. The Solar Calculator and the Spray Window Calculator now let you step through the forecast days rather than showing today only. Small change, but a useful one if you do any planning more than a day ahead.

For members

The picker shows each day in the Dayboro Model forecast, up to a week out. Click a day and the calculator runs on those forecast conditions. Temperature, wind, humidity and chance of rain all shift to match the day you picked, jsut as they do for today’s live data.

I built this because the most common thing I hear about the spray calculator is some version of “when is my next decent window?” Today’s conditions give you one answer. A full week out lets you plan around your actual schedule rather than checking back every morning.

The Solar Calculator works the same way. If Thursday looks cleaner than today, you can check it before Thursday arrives.

For non-members

You see today and today only. The day buttons are not there. That part is member-only.

A Weather Reports membership (Level 4) is what unlocks the full week view on both tools. It also covers the monthly Inigo Jones long-range forecasts before they go public, and the extended Dayboro Model data behind both calculators.

If you have been using either tool and find them useful, the membership is worth a look. The membership page has everything.

That is the update. I will leave it there.

From lyndhurst-hill.info to dayboro.localbuddy.au: what changed, and what never will

There is a new home for the Dayboro community feed at dayboro.localbuddy.au, and that has caused some confusion. The short version: nothing is going away. The weather stays on dayboro.au, the events stay on dayboro.au, and the Dayboro Lions Business Directory stays the authority on local businesses, hosted free, as it has been since 2017. This is the long version of how we got here.

We Hit 36.9 On Sunday. I Spent Two Days Trying To Prove It Wrong

The station read 36.9 degrees on Sunday afternoon, the hottest September figure it has ever logged. I did not believe it, so I went looking for the fault. A second weather station in Dayboro read exactly the same number, and what I found instead was a real problem in my own record that runs the other way.

The new Dayboro weather live display: put the station on your TV, your phone, or your shop window

There is a new screen at weather.dayboro.au. A full screen live display of the Dayboro station, built for smart TVs, wall tablets and phones. It refreshes itself every minute, flips to a dark theme at night, shows BOM warnings the moment they land, and has an ambient mode that slowly rotates through big glanceable scenes. Free for everyone, with the full forecast set for members, and businesses can have their own branded version.
