Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the VERNEUIL weather station, 7.9 km away at 168 m; the village itself is at 202 m. [11]

An average of 738 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LES BARILS, 0.1 km away at 203 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
