Climate

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 131 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the SUPT weather station, 7.8 km away at 657 m; the village itself is at 842 m. ^[10]

The village sits 185 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CHAMPAGNOLE, 13.4 km away at 537 m, over 26 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 305 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,589 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 11 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at SUPT, 7.8 km away at 657 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

6 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 220,000 € — 1,834 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Jura is 1,428 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[11]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
