Climate

Measured at the DESVRES weather station, 4.5 km away at 185 m; the village itself is at 69 m. ^[13]

The village sits 116 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at DESVRES, 4.5 km away at 185 m, over 12 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 116 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,152 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at DESVRES, 4.5 km away at 185 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
