Measured at the MOLESMES_SAPC weather station, 6 km away at 355 m; the village itself is at 246 m. ^[11]

The village sits 109 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 MOLESMES_SAPC, 6 km away at 355 m, over 14 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 109 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 857 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MOLESMES_SAPC, 6 km away at 355 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
