Climate

An average of 46 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SCATA weather station, 6.5 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 383 m. ^[11]

The village sits 198 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BASTIA, 15.6 km away at 10 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 373 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 994 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 15.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at FOLELLI, 5.2 km away at 16 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
