The average year, 1991 to 2020, at the Bureau of Meteorology's Hervey Bay Airport weather station, which stands for Hervey Bay on this page, from SILO's records, which SILO completes with its own estimates for any day the station did not record. The station's own records cover 1999 to 2020; the years before 1999 are SILO's estimates. The termite seasons are the ones the Australian Museum names and the tick months are the ones the Australian Government’s health advice gives (both below); neither is read from the weather.

Warm nights and a dry September

Summer nights stay warm: January and February both average 22.0°C overnight, and from December to March the days are warm too. July is the coolest month, its days still averaging 21.9°C and its nights cooling to 10.3°C. From September the warmth returns month by month, and by November the days are nearly as warm as summer's.

The rain, 1,049 mm in an average year, has its heaviest month in February at 161 mm, with March the next wettest. The driest months run from June to September, with July and September level at the bottom, so the dry reaches into early spring. October then brings a sharp lift in rain before November eases and December climbs again.

An October wetter than November

Autumn carries the summer wet onward, though not smoothly: April dips between a wet March and May's 101 mm. Spring begins in the driest month of the year and keeps its rain modest, with October wetter than November, which dips before December's rain. Both seasons keep warm days at their summer ends, March averaging 29.1°C and November 28.2°C.

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
