May 2025: A Month of Surprises, Showers & Spot-On Forecasting
By someone who checks the rain gauge more than their inbox
Well, May’s behind us—and if you’re like me, your boots didn’t dry until June. Let’s take a look at what Dayboro copped this past month, how close our long-range Inigo Jones-inspired forecast got to the mark, and what the skies might hold for the weeks ahead.
🌦️ What the Sky Dished Out: May 2025 Weather Summary
If May had a personality, it was a bit like a cranky neighbour—mostly decent, but when it turned, it really turned. According to the Dayboro Weather Hub, we experienced:
- Above-average rainfall, especially in the second and fourth weeks of the month.
- Cooler mornings and a couple of foggy starts that made you second-guess your jacket choices.
- A thunderstorm on May 24th, which turned parts of town into temporary creeks—yes, again.
- Persistent wind shifts, mostly from the southeast, are dragging in damp coastal air.
🌡 Highlights:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| May 3rd | Sudden drop in temp from 27°C to 14°C overnight |
| May 10th | Morning fog, visibility < 50m until 9am |
| May 24th | Thunderstorm with 27mm rainfall in 40 mins |
| May 28th | Dayboro Day cancelled, not enough volunteers etc. |
All data matched from the Dayboro Weather Hub, verified against BOM logs and our own Lyndhurst-Hill weather station.
🧠 Inigo Jones Was Right Again
Now here’s the kicker—our long-range forecast, based on solar/lunar cycles à la Inigo Jones, actually predicted the mid- and late-month wet spells. Back in April, we flagged:
“Rainfall is likely from the 21st through to the 26th, especially around full moon due to stronger tidal surges inland.”
— April forecast
We even called the cool snap in the first week.
Let’s give credit where credit’s due: this old-school method still holds some water (pun absolutely intended). If you’re a farmer, gardener or just someone trying to plan a party without everyone bringing gumboots, these forecasts are worth watching.
🎉 May’s Events: Celebrations Dampened but Spirits Not
Despite soggy grounds and a few cancellations, the town had its fair share of goings-on.
Our community, as always, took it on the chin with good humour and a second cup of coffee.
🔮 What’s On This June?
Here’s a quick run-through of what to expect this month. For the full list, visit the Dayboro Events Calendar.
Pro Tip: Bookmark our June 2025 Forecast and keep it handy. There’s a hint of dry winds and clearer skies coming… but this is Dayboro—always bring a jacket just in case.
🌤 June 2025: Forecast at a Glance
The long-range outlook (again using that good old Inigo Jones vibe) suggests:
- Cooler mornings (down to 7–9°C on some days)
- Sunny afternoons, perfect for fence painting and paddock planning
- Low rainfall totals, mostly confined to early June
- Higher UV—so yes, you can burn even if it’s chilly
All this should (hopefully!) mean the Dayboro Show goes ahead without needing a flotilla.
💡 Why This Matters
Here’s the thing—we live in a town where one cloud can change your whole day. Whether it’s planting spuds, holding a fundraiser, or just picking up the grandkids, local weather data beats the “Brisbane North” guesswork.
That’s why Dayboro.au isn’t just a website—it’s your paddock planner, event watcher, and storm whisperer. With accurate readings, Inigo-style forecasts, and a community that actually gives a toss, we’re building something rare—a town that knows its skies.

💬 Final Thoughts from the Weather Nerd
May threw us a wet curveball. But we saw it coming—and we handled it, Dayboro style.
Let’s hope June brings dry fields, muddy boots at the showgrounds (not carparks), and more chances to catch up with neighbours over a cuppa. As always, check the Weather Hub before heading out… and if it smells like rain, it probably is.
