…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Monestier-Merlines's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
