Rain that builds from September to December

July and August share the driest figure, 23 mm each. From September the rain rises every month to December, the wettest month at 115 mm, and the three summer months are the wettest of the year. March, at 78 mm, is still a wet month as autumn begins, and across an average year the station takes in 764 mm.

The days warm every month from August to November, and the nights every month from September to January, a month behind them. December, at 31.0°C, joins January as a hot month, and February's nights are as warm as January's. June and July share the year's coolest days, and August's nights are as cold as July's.

A dry April between wetter neighbours

Spring at Amberley is both the warmer season and the wetter, with 177 mm against autumn's 169 mm. Its days warm every month and its rain rises every month, from a dry September to 82 mm in November. Autumn is less orderly. After March its days cool every month, but its rain falls away in April and returns in May, which is wetter than April and June on either side.

Pests and weather, from public sources

Termites

New colonies begin when winged termites leave the nest in a colonising flight. The Australian Museum says these flights happen in warm, humid weather, mostly in spring and autumn.

Australian Museum

Cockroaches

The Better Health Channel says cockroaches do best where conditions are warm, humid and unhygienic.

Mosquitoes

“Mosquitoes need water to breed, and some mosquitoes can breed in very small amounts of water.”

NSW Health

Ticks

Ticks can be found in any month. The Australian Government’s health advice puts the usual tick season at July to December, and says it differs from place to place.

Who licenses pest work in Queensland

Queensland Health requires a licence of anyone who does pest control work for payment. Queensland Health

Applying a chemical termite management system needs a Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) licence as well as the government-issued pest control licence. QBCC

Where the work involves termites, Queensland Health says to ask to see the technician’s QBCC licence. Queensland Health
