Measured at the NIELLES-LES-BLEQUIN_SAPC weather station, 3.3 km away at 145 m; the village itself is at 63 m. ^[11]

The village sits 82 m below 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. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at RADINGHEM, 16.9 km away at 115 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 52 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,013 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
