Confidence: high.

Better served than 21 % of the 15,590 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 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 132 m. [10]

An average of 981 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at ROCQUIGNY - MAN, 8 km away at 220 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
