Confidence: high.
Better served than 50 % of the 15,268 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally

The village sits 62 m below 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]
An average of 1,547 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BUGEAT, 7.5 km away at 694 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
