Climate

Measured at the BASTIDE SOLAGES weather station, 11.8 km away at 230 m; the village itself is at 628 m. ^[12]

The village sits 398 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MONTLAUR, 17.3 km away at 374 m, over 23 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 254 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 890 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST SERNIN/RANCE, 9.7 km away at 341 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
