Confidence: high.
Better served than 44 % of the 17,590 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BRIONNE weather station, 7.5 km away at 59 m; the village itself is at 143 m. [11]
The village sits 84 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]
An average of 799 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BRIONNE, 7.5 km away at 59 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
