Confidence: high.
Better served than 16 % of the 17,081 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the MAUL weather station, 4.9 km away at 565 m; the village itself is at 480 m. [13]
The village sits 85 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [13]
An average of 1,144 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 8.5 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at MAUL, 4.9 km away at 565 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
