Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 128 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BEVONS weather station, 19.3 km away at 520 m; the village itself is at 826 m. [10]
The village sits 306 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 1,040 mm of rain a year, spread over 79 days — about 13.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BANON, 4.8 km away at 780 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
