Vitality score

Vitality score 42.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 67 % of the 13,816 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 93 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CESSIEU weather station, 2.3 km away at 304 m; the village itself is at 450 m. ^[11]

The village sits 146 m above 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 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at BOURGOIN, 8.9 km away at 358 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 92 m below 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 1,012 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CESSIEU, 2.3 km away at 304 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
