Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LA GRAND COMBE, 16.4 km away at 499 m, over 23 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 144 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,668 mm of rain a year, spread over 94 days — about 17.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at GENOLHAC, 4.7 km away at 519 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
