Measured at the LUBERSAC weather station, 12 km away at 390 m; the village itself is at 461 m. ^[11]

The village sits 71 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at LUBERSAC, 12 km away at 390 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 71 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,188 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MASSERET, 7.8 km away at 490 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
