Measured at the DAMBLAINVILLE weather station, 3.7 km away at 155 m; the village itself is at 83 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DAMBLAINVILLE, 3.7 km away at 155 m, over 28 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 72 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 717 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
