Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 17,915 communes of a similar size.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BERGERAC TABAC, 16.3 km away at 33 m, over 17 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 94 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 877 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]
