Vitality score
Vitality score 47.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 5,443 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 5 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the TOURRETTES SUR LOUP weather station, 0.9 km away at 311 m; the village itself is at 378 m. [13]
The village sits 67 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at TOURRETTES SUR LOUP, 0.9 km away at 311 m, over 18 summers. [13]
That station sits 67 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 936 mm of rain a year, spread over 69 days — about 13.6 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at TOURRETTES SUR LOUP, 0.9 km away at 311 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Tourrettes-sur-Loup'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.
