Measured at the WANGENBOURG_SAPC weather station, 12 km away at 460 m; the village itself is at 226 m. ^[12]

The village sits 234 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at WANGENBOURG_SAPC, 12 km away at 460 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 234 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,050 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at COSSWILLER, 7.6 km away at 445 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
