Confidence: high.

Better served than 53 % of the 13,571 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the SERIGNAC weather station, 15.3 km away at 151 m; the village itself is at 250 m. [9]

The village sits 99 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. [9]

An average of 732 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at LAVIT-FLORIS, 2.1 km away at 227 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
