Measured at the ILE ROUSSE weather station, 7.3 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 352 m. ^[12]

The village sits 212 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ILE ROUSSE, 7.3 km away at 140 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 212 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 458 mm of rain a year, spread over 56 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ILE ROUSSE, 7.3 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
