Climate

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ROUEN-BOOS weather station, 3.6 km away at 156 m; the village itself is at 44 m. ^[11]

The village sits 112 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ROUEN-BOOS, 3.6 km away at 156 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 112 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 835 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ROUEN-BOOS, 3.6 km away at 156 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

56 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 232,000 € — 2,200 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Seine-Maritime is 1,803 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
