Climate

An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BUSSIERE BOFFY weather station, 7.6 km away at 240 m; the village itself is at 369 m. ^[11]

The village sits 129 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BELLAC, 12.2 km away at 246 m, over 11 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 123 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 984 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BUSSIERE BOFFY, 7.6 km away at 240 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
