Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 16,179 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 25.2

Days at or below 0 °C 20.5

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 21 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LICQ-ATHEREY weather station, 12.8 km away at 288 m; the village itself is at 181 m. ^[11]

The village sits 107 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 1,367 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TROIS-VILLES, 3.8 km away at 216 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
