The average annual total rainfall during this period was 746 mm, with 6 days of precipitation in January and 2.8 days in July.[3]For the subsequent period of 1991 to 2020, the average annual temperature observed at the nearest weather station, located in the commune ofPrades-le-Lez,6 kilometres (4 mi) awayas the crow flies,[5]is 14.6 °C (58 °F), and the average annual total rainfall is 869.7 mm.[6][7]
