Climate

Measured at the SAINT GEORGES D weather station, 9 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 114 m. ^[11]

The village sits 71 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at LIVRY, 13.9 km away at 194 m, over 15 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 80 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 870 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MONTIGNY, 4.9 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
