Better served than 19 % of the 17,659 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured at the UHRWILLER_SAPC weather station, 8.5 km away at 217 m; the village itself is at 337 m. ^[12]

The village sits 120 m above 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 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at UHRWILLER_SAPC, 8.5 km away at 217 m, over 13 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 120 m below 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 758 mm of rain a year, spread over 124 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at UHRWILLER_SAPC, 8.5 km away at 217 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
