Confidence: high.
Better served than 73 % of the 15,020 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 38 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the SAINT-SYLVESTRE weather station, 19.5 km away at 136 m; the village itself is at 219 m. [11]
The village sits 83 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 816 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at TOURNON, 4.5 km away at 170 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
