Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BANOGNE-RECOUVRANCE weather station, 9.7 km away at 130 m; the village itself is at 65 m. [10]
The village sits 65 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 784 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CHATEAU-PORCIEN, 4.1 km away at 67 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
