Vitality score

Vitality score 45.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 17,303 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 29 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the THENON weather station, 13 km away at 265 m; the village itself is at 201 m. ^[11]

The village sits 64 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at THENON, 13 km away at 265 m, over 19 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 64 m above 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 904 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TERRASSON-LAVILLEDIEU, 8.2 km away at 90 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
