Confidence: high.

Better served than 21 % of the 13,055 communes of a similar size.

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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the SAINT-GRATIEN weather station, 15.4 km away at 110 m; the village itself is at 114 m. [11]

An average of 886 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at DOULLENS, 10.6 km away at 59 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
