Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 16,950 communes of a similar size.

Climate

An average of 40 days a year at or above 30 °C and 23 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LAURE-MINERVOIS weather station, 6 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 150 m. ^[11]

The village sits 70 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CAUNES-MINERVOIS, 7.2 km away at 371 m, over 19 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 221 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 661 mm of rain a year, spread over 76 days — about 8.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LAURE-MINERVOIS, 6 km away at 80 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
