Vitality score
Vitality score 7.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 7 % of the 12,501 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CIERP-GAUD weather station, 2.1 km away at 500 m; the village itself is at 635 m. [10]
The village sits 135 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LUCHON, 10.6 km away at 618 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 1,013 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CIERP-GAUD, 2.1 km away at 500 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Burgalays'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.
