Vitality score
Vitality score 17.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 17 % of the 17,525 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the DUSSAC weather station, 7.9 km away at 335 m; the village itself is at 165 m. [9]
The village sits 170 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at DUSSAC, 7.9 km away at 335 m, over 11 summers. [9]
That station sits 170 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,114 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at DUSSAC, 7.9 km away at 335 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-Médard-d'Excideuil'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.
