Measured at the VIC LE FESQ weather station, 2.7 km away at 45 m; the village itself is at 116 m. ^[11]

The village sits 71 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 6 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at VILLEVIEILLE, 11.2 km away at 41 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 75 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 830 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 12.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at VIC LE FESQ, 2.7 km away at 45 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
