Vitality score
Vitality score 9.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 9 % 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BASSILLAC weather station, 14.7 km away at 95 m; the village itself is at 160 m. [9]
The village sits 65 m above 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at COULOUNIEIX SA, 17.6 km away at 172 m, over 10 summers. [9]
An average of 941 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BRANTOME, 11.1 km away at 129 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…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 Saint-Front-d'Alemps'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.
