Vitality score
Vitality score 47.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 60 % of the 8,574 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 28 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LIZIO weather station, 10.2 km away at 160 m; the village itself is at 83 m. [10]
The village sits 77 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at PLOERMEL, 12.6 km away at 65 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 1,089 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LIZIO, 10.2 km away at 160 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 Guégon'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.
