Measured at the RUSIO weather station, 5.9 km away at 863 m; the village itself is at 759 m. ^[12]

The village sits 104 m below 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 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CORTE_FDF, 7.8 km away at 362 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 397 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 1,018 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at RUSIO, 5.9 km away at 863 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
