Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MAICHE, 12.2 km away at 825 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 324 m above 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 1,570 mm of rain a year, spread over 161 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at CHARQUEMONT, 11.2 km away at 884 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
