Confidence: high.
Better served than 74 % of the 2,957 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally

The village sits 270 m above 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. [11]
An average of 1,085 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at AYROS ARBOUIX, 3.8 km away at 478 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
