Vitality score

Vitality score 18.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 14,305 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.

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

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 14 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BRECEY weather station, 4.2 km away at 63 m; the village itself is at 28 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at BRECEY, 4.2 km away at 63 m, over 15 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,065 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST OVIN, 4.1 km away at 155 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Vernix'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.
