Vitality score
Vitality score 48.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 82 % of the 14,279 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 45 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MEAILLES_SAPC weather station, 7.8 km away at 1,090 m; the village itself is at 693 m. [10]
The village sits 397 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LA MURE-ARGENS, 11.8 km away at 920 m, over 19 summers. [10]
That station sits 227 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,036 mm of rain a year, spread over 94 days — about 11 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MEAILLES_SAPC, 7.8 km away at 1,090 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Annot's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
