Climate

Measured at the LATRONQUIERE weather station, 13.1 km away at 658 m; the village itself is at 542 m. ^[12]

The village sits 116 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at FAYCELLES, 14.6 km away at 342 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 200 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,046 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST BRESSOU, 1.8 km away at 388 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
