Confidence: high.

Better served than 46 % of the 7,423 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the DOSNON weather station, 12.7 km away at 115 m; the village itself is at 104 m. [11]

An average of 745 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at AVANT-LES-RAMERUPT, 9.6 km away at 118 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
