Better served than 39 % of the 16,322 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the REMELFING weather station, 8.1 km away at 220 m; the village itself is at 281 m. ^[11]

The village sits 61 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at VOLMUNSTER, 18 km away at 358 m, over 23 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 77 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 897 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at REMELFING, 8.1 km away at 220 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
