Lagrange sits near the top of mainland French towns for frosts
On a normal July day the thermometer tops out near 26.4°C. The seasons are far apart: from a winter night to a summer afternoon the average spans 28°C. Rain is plentiful here, more than falls on 90% of mainland French towns. Keep the boiler serviced for the months from November to April, which average under 10°C.

A frosty town: 95 frosts and 69 days of 25°C a year
On about 95 nights a year the air drops to 0°C or below, and on about 11 days it stays below freezing all day. About 69 days a year reach 25°C, and 21 reach 30°C.
Day counts are Météo-France’s 1991–2020 normals at Joncherey: a frost is a night of 0°C or below, a summer day (jour d’été) 25°C or more, a hot day (forte chaleur) 30°C or more.
The Météo-France station at Joncherey
Joncherey is 17 km south of Lagrange. Every figure on this page is the station’s, not a measurement in Lagrange itself.
| Station (Météo-France number) | Joncherey (90056002) |
| Distance from the town | 17 km south |
| Station altitude | 359 m |
| Town altitude (its center) | 372 m |
| Period | 1991–2020 |
| Nearest station of any kind | 2.7 km |
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.

Where Lagrange’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Temperature, rain and day counts: Météo-France’s fiche climatologique for Joncherey, 17 km away: statistics for 1991–2020.
- Which station: among stations with at least 24 of the 30 years of temperature and rain, the nearest to the commune’s population-weighted center, counting each 100 m of height difference as 10 km; mainland towns use mainland stations and each overseas département its own.
- Altitudes: the town’s from IGN’s RGE ALTI® at its population-weighted center; the station’s from Météo-France.
- Comparisons: every town of 2,500 or more in mainland France, read the same way; the dots are the towns of 2,500+ in Territoire de Belfort.

About 1,087 mm a year, more than 90% of mainland French towns. December is the wettest month (109 mm) and February the driest (78 mm).
Are these figures for Lagrange itself?
No: they are the normals of the Météo-France station matched to Lagrange, Joncherey, 17 km away. France publishes its climate normals by station, not by commune; a valley, a hill or the sea can make a difference over a few kilometers.
Where do these figures come from?
Météo-France’s fiches climatologiques: 30-year averages (1991–2020) for each of its long-running stations, published as open data since 2024. They are normals, not a forecast.
