Confidence: high.
Better served than 3 % of the 5,903 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 95 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MAZEYRAT D'AL weather station, 11.9 km away at 538 m; the village itself is at 615 m. [9]
The village sits 77 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. [9]
An average of 631 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LAVOUTE-CHILHAC, 5 km away at 491 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
