Confidence: high.
Better served than 46 % of the 5,200 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the VERT TOULON-CIVC weather station, 15 km away at 155 m; the village itself is at 227 m. [11]
The village sits 72 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 754 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at JANVILLIERS, 6.5 km away at 224 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
