Confidence: high.

Better served than 44 % of the 13,188 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured at the LEVIE weather station, 2.7 km away at 571 m; the village itself is at 679 m. ^[10]

The village sits 108 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at QUENZA, 6.3 km away at 932 m, over 15 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 253 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,134 mm of rain a year, spread over 94 days — about 12.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LEVIE, 2.7 km away at 571 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
