Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 12,401 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the STE-ANNE weather station, 0.9 km away at 132 m; the village itself is at 184 m. [10]

The village sits 52 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. [10]

An average of 681 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at STE-ANNE, 0.9 km away at 132 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
