Measured at the BOURGOIN weather station, 11.2 km away at 358 m; the village itself is at 280 m. ^[13]

The village sits 78 m below 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. ^[13]

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

Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 11.2 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 78 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 911 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at PONT-DE-CHERUY, 8.4 km away at 202 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
