Vitality score

Vitality score 19.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 68 % of the 13,969 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the TROIS-FONTAINES weather station, 11.8 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 137 m. [9]

The village sits 67 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]

An average of 872 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]

Rainfall measured at SOGNY, 5.9 km away at 116 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

No specific uncertainties flagged.
