Climate

An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SARLAT weather station, 19.1 km away at 203 m; the village itself is at 113 m. ^[11]

The village sits 90 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at SARLAT, 19.1 km away at 203 m, over 13 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 90 m above 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 834 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at DOMME, 8 km away at 165 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
