Vitality score
Vitality score 10.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 12 % of the 17,323 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CRESSENSAC weather station, 9.9 km away at 294 m; the village itself is at 186 m. [10]
The village sits 108 m below 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]
An average of 898 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at VAYRAC - BROUSS, 5.4 km away at 152 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
