Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BAGNOLES-DE-L_ORNE weather station, 7.2 km away at 151 m; the village itself is at 214 m. [9]
The village sits 63 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 909 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BAGNOLES-DE-L_ORNE, 7.2 km away at 151 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
