Vitality score

Vitality score 8.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 4 % of the 17,272 communes of a similar size.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 11.1

Days at or below 0 °C 112.9▸

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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 113 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the ST CHELY-D APCHER weather station, 7.8 km away at 1,032 m; the village itself is at 935 m. ^[10]

The village sits 97 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 844 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LE MALZIEU, 4.9 km away at 859 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
