Vitality score

Vitality score 31.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 16,924 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the SOLLACARO weather station, 5.3 km away at 33 m; the village itself is at 596 m. ^[12]

The village sits 563 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °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 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at PILA-CANALE, 7.5 km away at 407 m, over 29 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 189 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 967 mm of rain a year, spread over 87 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at PETRETO BICCHISANO, 5.1 km away at 450 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
