The village sits 57 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at PASSY EN VALOIS, 12.1 km away at 141 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 57 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]
