Vitality score
Vitality score 7.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 7 % of the 12,255 communes of a similar size.

The village sits 128 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 1,015 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 8.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PRADINAS_SAPC, 8.1 km away at 564 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
