Climate

Measured at the LAVAUR weather station, 7.3 km away at 131 m; the village itself is at 234 m. ^[12]

The village sits 103 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 5 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at LAVAUR, 7.3 km away at 131 m, over 29 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 103 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 784 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST-PAUL-CAP-DE, 3.2 km away at 162 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
