Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the TROIS-FONTAINES weather station, 18.7 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 130 m. [10]
The village sits 74 m below 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. [10]
An average of 824 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at VANAULT, 3.8 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
