Climate

Measured at the STE MARGUERITE weather station, 4.3 km away at 358 m; the village itself is at 483 m. ^[11]

The village sits 125 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BAN-DE-SAPT, 5.5 km away at 590 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 107 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,134 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at STE MARGUERITE, 4.3 km away at 358 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
