A Brief History of Dayboro’s Weather

Dayboro’s climate has seen extremes, from searing heatwaves to damaging floods. For instance, in 2011, Dayboro was hit by severe flooding due to the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Yasi, an event influenced by a strong La Niña cycle. The flood peak, inundating homes and businesses. Similarly, the town’s highest temperature was recorded in 2017, when a heatwave brought the mercury up to 40.3°C, showing the variety of weather extremes experienced here.

La Niña has been a driving force behind several of these events, and understanding how it works helps explain why Dayboro experiences such weather swings, but are they weather swings? I have on social media expressed my conserns with the validity of the data, have even argued and debated climate specialists. Only to come to the conclusion that the accuracy is very low, that it is generally seen as an other “gadget” indicator. 

So why do I now post about it… perhaps even support it…. or do I?
