Confidence: high.

Better served than 33 % of the 9,350 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the LE CHESNE weather station, 10 km away at 168 m; the village itself is at 234 m. [12]

The village sits 66 m above 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. [12]

An average of 1,021 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at LE CHESNE, 10 km away at 168 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
