Vitality score
Vitality score 11/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 44 % of the 6,785 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 104 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the PIERREFONTAINE weather station, 6.8 km away at 695 m; the village itself is at 625 m. [12]
The village sits 70 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at SANCEY-LE-GRAND, 12 km away at 490 m, over 20 summers. [12]
That station sits 135 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,383 mm of rain a year, spread over 153 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PIERREFONTAINE, 6.8 km away at 695 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Vellerot-lès-Vercel'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.
