Vitality score
Vitality score 11.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 14,464 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 113 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MONTRODAT weather station, 4.6 km away at 746 m; the village itself is at 957 m. [11]
The village sits 211 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at MENDE, 6.8 km away at 932 m, over 16 summers. [11]
An average of 803 mm of rain a year, spread over 101 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MONTRODAT, 4.6 km away at 746 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Gabrias's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
