Vitality score
Vitality score 10.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 13 % of the 17,293 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 39 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SOUILLAC-PRESSIGNAC weather station, 7.7 km away at 101 m; the village itself is at 261 m. [10]
The village sits 160 m above 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 924 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at SOUILLAC-PRESSIGNAC, 7.7 km away at 101 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
