Measured at the BERG weather station, 5.6 km away at 350 m; the village itself is at 293 m. ^[12]

The village sits 57 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 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at BERG, 5.6 km away at 350 m, over 21 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 57 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 917 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]
