Confidence: high.
Better served than 100 % of the 8,759 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 0 days a year at or above 30 °C and 97 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MERIBEL BURGIN weather station, 6.4 km away at 2,040 m; the village itself is at 1,088 m. [11]
The village sits 952 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 883 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BOZEL, 1.2 km away at 865 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
