Climate

Measured at the LUCELLE_SAPC weather station, 5.9 km away at 690 m; the village itself is at 449 m. ^[13]

The village sits 241 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at ALTKIRCH, 18 km away at 350 m, over 10 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 99 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,108 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at LUCELLE_SAPC, 5.9 km away at 690 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
