Vitality score
Vitality score 10.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 13,248 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 109 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MAICHE weather station, 9.3 km away at 825 m; the village itself is at 687 m. [10]
The village sits 138 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MAICHE, 9.3 km away at 825 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 138 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,333 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at DAMBELIN, 7.5 km away at 420 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 Les Terres-de-Chaux'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.
