Measured at the DUAULT weather station, 11.2 km away at 181 m; the village itself is at 243 m. ^[12]

The village sits 62 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °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 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LOUARGAT, 14.7 km away at 148 m, over 22 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 95 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,152 mm of rain a year, spread over 160 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at PLUSQUELLEC, 6.2 km away at 214 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
