Measured at the LES PLANS weather station, 3.2 km away at 846 m; the village itself is at 679 m. ^[13]

The village sits 167 m below 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at LES PLANS, 3.2 km away at 846 m, over 26 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 167 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,466 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 13.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at ROQUEREDONDE, 0.1 km away at 685 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
