Historical Weather Patterns for March in Dayboro
Temperature:
- March Average Highs: Daytime temperatures in March typically range from 28°C to 32°C, though occasional heat spikes can push temperatures to 34°C in particularly warm years.
- March Average Lows: Nighttime temperatures begin to cool gradually, with lows averaging 18°C to 22°C, signalling the seasonal transition from summer to autumn.
Rainfall and Wet Season:
- Rainfall Totals: March remains part of the wet season, with monthly rainfall averaging between 100mm to 200mm, though some years exceed 250mm due to tropical moisture influences.
- Rainfall Patterns: Afternoon and evening thunderstorms are common, often producing heavy but short-lived downpours. Multi-day rain events can occur when a lingering tropical system feeds moisture into the region.
Humidity:
- Humidity levels remain high, typically ranging between 70% to 90%. Morning humidity peaks near 95%, contributing to a damp and sticky feel, particularly in the first half of the month before drier air starts filtering in later in March.
Storms and Extreme Weather:
- Thunderstorms: March frequently sees late-summer storm activity, with thunderstorms occurring roughly 8-12 days of the month. These storms can bring intense rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning.
- Cyclonic Activity: While tropical cyclones tend to peak in January and February, residual moisture from decaying cyclones in the Coral Sea can still impact Dayboro in March, resulting in extended rainy periods and gusty conditions.
Wind:
- Winds are typically light to moderate, predominantly from the east-northeast, averaging 10-25 km/h.
- Stronger gusts (exceeding 40-50 km/h) may accompany thunderstorms or be linked to remnants of tropical systems, particularly in the first half of the month.
Flooding and Local Impacts:
- Flooding risk remains moderate to high, particularly in low-lying areas near the North Pine River and surrounding creeks.
- Extended back-to-back rain events or an offshore tropical system can lead to flash flooding and road closures, as has occurred in previous March rainfall peaks.
Significant Historical Weather Events in March:
- March 2021: Heavy rainfall across Southeast Queensland resulted in flooding in parts of Dayboro, with over 150mm recorded in a 48-hour period.
- March 1974: Cyclone Zoe’s residual moisture contributed to intense rainfall and flooding, particularly impacting creeks and low-lying farms.
- March 1931: One of the wettest recorded March months in Dayboro, where multiple days saw rainfall exceeding 50mm, causing widespread flooding.
March is a transitional month, with late-season storms, fluctuating humidity, and decreasing temperatures marking the shift from the wet season to the drier months ahead. While rainfall events remain likely, the latter half of the month typically sees calmer conditions as autumn settles in.
