Measured at the BASSE-S-L-RUPT weather station, 3 km away at 445 m; the village itself is at 651 m. ^[12]

The village sits 206 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °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 VAGNEY, 6 km away at 805 m, over 18 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 154 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,540 mm of rain a year, spread over 153 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at BASSE-S-L-RUPT, 3 km away at 445 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
