Vitality score
Vitality score 17.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 42 % of the 17,272 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the BAIGNEUX LES JUIFS weather station, 12.8 km away at 415 m; the village itself is at 341 m. [13]
The village sits 74 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at BAIGNEUX LES JUIFS, 12.8 km away at 415 m, over 12 summers. [13]
That station sits 74 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 958 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at VILLAINES EN D, 0.1 km away at 344 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 Villaines-en-Duesmois'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.
