Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 85 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the COURCELLES-CHAUSSY weather station, 12.4 km away at 225 m; the village itself is at 330 m. [13]
The village sits 105 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. [13]
An average of 885 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at PORCELETTE, 7.5 km away at 250 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
