Vitality score
Vitality score 34.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 43 % of the 13,830 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 50 days a year at or above 30 °C and 22 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MARSANNE weather station, 6.7 km away at 280 m; the village itself is at 95 m. [11]
The village sits 185 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 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MONTELIMAR, 10.2 km away at 73 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 955 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MARSANNE, 6.7 km away at 280 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Tourrettes'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.
