The Météo-France station at Le Raizet Aéro
Le Raizet Aéro is 33 km north-east of Saint-Claude. Every figure on this page is the station’s, not a measurement in Saint-Claude itself.
| Station (Météo-France number) | Le Raizet Aéro (97101015) |
| Distance from the town | 33 km north-east |
| Station altitude | 11 m |
| Town altitude (its center) | 475 m |
| Period | 1991–2020 |
| Sunshine measured at | the same station |
Saint-Claude sits 464 m higher than the station. Air usually cools by about 0.65°C every 100 m, so expect Saint-Claude to run about 3°C cooler than these figures.
TownRatings matches each commune to one station with at least 24 years of temperature and rain records: the nearest, counting every 100 m of height difference as 10 km, never across the sea.
How Saint-Claude compares
Against the 28 towns of 2,500+ in Guadeloupe (the dots). Mainland France’s towns aren’t a fair comparison for a tropical climate.
