Climate

Measured at the MONTIGNY EN MORVAN_SAPC weather station, 1.9 km away at 285 m; the village itself is at 420 m. ^[11]

The village sits 135 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CHATEAU CHINON, 10.2 km away at 598 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 178 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,103 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MONTIGNY EN MORVAN_SAPC, 1.9 km away at 285 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
