Measured at the WANGENBOURG_SAPC weather station, 3.4 km away at 460 m; the village itself is at 288 m. ^[11]

The village sits 172 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at WANGENBOURG_SAPC, 3.4 km away at 460 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 172 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,128 mm of rain a year, spread over 145 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at WANGENBOURG_SAPC, 3.4 km away at 460 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

No price figures: this département keeps the livre foncier rather than the cadastre, so its transactions are not published in DVF at all. ^[12]
