Confidence: high.

Better served than 72 % of the 15,879 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LA ROCHEPOT weather station, 5.8 km away at 417 m; the village itself is at 351 m. ^[11]

The village sits 66 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BESSEY, 10 km away at 593 m, over 23 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 242 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 870 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LA ROCHEPOT, 5.8 km away at 417 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
