Measured at the ETEAUX weather station, 3.9 km away at 805 m; the village itself is at 506 m. ^[11]

The village sits 299 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BONNEVILLE, 8.3 km away at 453 m, over 21 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 53 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,299 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PERS JUSSY, 3 km away at 747 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
