Measured at the CAYEUX-SUR-MER weather station, 9.1 km away at 4 m; the village itself is at 60 m. ^[12]

The village sits 56 m above 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CAYEUX-SUR-MER, 9.1 km away at 4 m, over 18 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 56 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 889 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at VAUDRICOURT, 1.9 km away at 58 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
