Measured at the FEURS weather station, 3.9 km away at 347 m; the village itself is at 429 m. ^[13]

The village sits 82 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at FEURS, 3.9 km away at 347 m, over 10 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 82 m below 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 652 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at FEURS, 3.9 km away at 347 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
