Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 17,748 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the PITHIVIERS-LE-V weather station, 16.3 km away at 120 m; the village itself is at 129 m. [9]

An average of 661 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at GRENEVILLE, 8.1 km away at 127 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
