The village sits 136 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at ST-AGREVE RAD, 15 km away at 1,014 m, over 19 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 136 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,204 mm of rain a year, spread over 102 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at ARCENS, 5.4 km away at 653 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
