Vitality score

Vitality score 23.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 30 % of the 16,950 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

An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the THENON weather station, 12.4 km away at 265 m; the village itself is at 77 m. ^[10]

The village sits 188 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 8 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at THENON, 12.4 km away at 265 m, over 19 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 188 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 881 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at MONTIGNAC, 4.9 km away at 77 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
