Vitality score
Vitality score 15.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 47 % of the 14,226 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 103 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ROSANS weather station, 4.3 km away at 625 m; the village itself is at 731 m. [10]
The village sits 106 m above 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 ROSANS, 4.3 km away at 625 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 106 m below 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 810 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 9.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ROSANS, 4.3 km away at 625 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Saint-André-de-Rosans'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.
