Vitality score 52.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 77 % of the 9,339 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the LOURY weather station, 8.9 km away at 130 m; the village itself is at 124 m. [10]

An average of 703 mm of rain a year, spread over 117 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CHILLEURS-AUX-B, 1.2 km away at 120 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
