Vitality score

Vitality score 40.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 17,841 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

An average of 45 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the REMUZAT weather station, 8.2 km away at 475 m; the village itself is at 360 m. ^[11]

The village sits 115 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BESIGNAN, 11.2 km away at 556 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 196 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 873 mm of rain a year, spread over 86 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at REMUZAT, 8.2 km away at 475 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
