Measured at the USINENS weather station, 6.5 km away at 417 m; the village itself is at 650 m. ^[12]

The village sits 233 m above 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at USINENS SA, 6.7 km away at 452 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 198 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,144 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at USINENS, 6.5 km away at 417 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
