Climate

Measured at the ETREPAGNY weather station, 7.5 km away at 92 m; the village itself is at 148 m. ^[11]

The village sits 56 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MUIDS, 19.2 km away at 31 m, over 19 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 117 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 759 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ETREPAGNY, 7.5 km away at 92 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
