Humidity measured at MAICHE, 19 km away at 825 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 412 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 1,434 mm of rain a year, spread over 153 days — about 9.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
