Confidence: high.

Better served than 75 % of the 17,890 communes of a similar size.

Measured at the NAVES weather station, 8.4 km away at 450 m; the village itself is at 538 m. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at NAVES, 8.4 km away at 450 m, over 22 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 88 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 1,254 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
