Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at ILE ROUSSE, 9.2 km away at 140 m, over 30 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 229 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 563 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]
