Measured at the CHATTE_SAPC weather station, 5.4 km away at 272 m; the village itself is at 403 m. ^[14]

The village sits 131 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[14]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[14]

Humidity measured at CHATTE_SAPC, 5.4 km away at 272 m, over 18 summers. ^[14]

That station sits 131 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[14]

An average of 958 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. ^[14]

Rainfall measured at CHATTE_SAPC, 5.4 km away at 272 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[14]
