Vitality score
Vitality score 14.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 32 % of the 16,725 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CAMPS weather station, 7.3 km away at 519 m; the village itself is at 472 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ARGENTAT, 8.2 km away at 190 m, over 29 summers. [11]
That station sits 282 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,401 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MERCOEUR, 6.3 km away at 478 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Sexcles'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.
