Get more from Dayboro's weather and growing data
20 years of local weather history, spray windows, harvest timing, pest alerts, all from the station on the hill, not a BOM postcode average.
Seven days free. Most people stay.Local weather, growing guides, and the science behind it all
Most of what you'll find here is about Dayboro, what's happening with the weather, what to plant, when to spray, how the season's shaping up. That's the core of the site and always will be.
But since I started digging into long-range forecasting and weather cycles back in 2004, the research has taken me well beyond the valley. I write about climate drivers, CO2, solar cycles, planetary influences on weather patterns, the kind of topics that attract readers from all over Australia and beyond. If you've landed here from a search and you're not from Dayboro, welcome. You're in good company.
I'll be upfront about where I stand: I think natural cycles are a bigger driver of climate variability than the mainstream consensus gives them credit for. But I'm not waiting on the data to agree with me, I follow the evidence wherever it goes. Every claim I make links back to real data, published research, or 20 years of station records from this hill. When the numbers don't support my hypothesis, I say so.
