Vitality score
Vitality score 8.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 19 % of the 8,936 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 81 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

The village sits 138 m above 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. [11]
An average of 1,127 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BRANNE_SAPC, 8.9 km away at 287 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
