Confidence: high.

Better served than 18 % of the 13,237 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 2 days a year at or above 30 °C and 18 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the FECAMP weather station, 5.7 km away at 104 m; the village itself is at 93 m. [11]

An average of 812 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at FECAMP, 5.7 km away at 104 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
