Vitality score
Vitality score 55.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 96 % of the 17,209 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 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 114 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the GUILLAUMES-OBS weather station, 0.2 km away at 788 m; the village itself is at 787 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PEONE, 6.3 km away at 1,784 m, over 22 summers. [10]
That station sits 997 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 922 mm of rain a year, spread over 81 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at GUILLAUMES-OBS, 0.2 km away at 788 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 Guillaumes'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.
