Vitality score
Vitality score 13.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 16 % of the 17,997 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the BASSILLAC weather station, 13.7 km away at 95 m; the village itself is at 125 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 7 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at DUSSAC, 17.7 km away at 335 m, over 11 summers. [10]
That station sits 210 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 885 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BASSILLAC, 13.7 km away at 95 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Mayac'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.
