Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ROVILLE, 7.2 km away at 278 m, over 26 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 52 m below 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 829 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]
