Better served than 78 % of the 17,863 communes of a similar size.

Climate

An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 118 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the BESAIN weather station, 3.2 km away at 535 m; the village itself is at 594 m. ^[12]

The village sits 59 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CHAMPAGNOLE, 6 km away at 537 m, over 26 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 57 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,519 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BESAIN, 3.2 km away at 535 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
