Climate

Measured at the MONTBARD_SAPC weather station, 13 km away at 209 m; the village itself is at 314 m. ^[12]

The village sits 105 m above 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MONTBARD_SAPC, 13 km away at 209 m, over 13 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 105 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 883 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at PLANAY, 3 km away at 278 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
