Movement and weather

Each season it is first heard regularly where daytime highs are around 19°C (typically 14 to 26°C, from 7 areas). That range is wide, so temperature alone does not explain when it turns up.

Over the weeks it was present in the past year, its centre in Oceania ranged from 35°S in January to 20°S in May, about 1,700 km apart.

Arrival dates

The week it was first heard regularly in each region, after at least six weeks away. Dates differ from south to north, so a region has a range.
