Climate

An average of 40 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ST CONSTANT weather station, 3.9 km away at 260 m; the village itself is at 342 m. ^[11]

The village sits 82 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MAURS, 10 km away at 480 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 138 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,042 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST CONSTANT, 3.9 km away at 260 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
