Vitality score
Vitality score 17.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 67 % of the 12,751 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 104 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the PIMORIN weather station, 3.2 km away at 503 m; the village itself is at 482 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST JULIEN - SA, 16.8 km away at 361 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 121 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,516 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 10.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PIMORIN, 3.2 km away at 503 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 Rothonay'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.
