Measured at the WALTENHEIM-SUR-ZORN weather station, 5.7 km away at 252 m; the village itself is at 200 m. ^[12]

The village sits 52 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 WALTENHEIM-SUR-ZORN, 5.7 km away at 252 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

An average of 659 mm of rain a year, spread over 114 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]
