Vitality score
Vitality score 24.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 22 % of the 15,122 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the TRESSANGE weather station, 18 km away at 358 m; the village itself is at 200 m. [11]
The village sits 158 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. [11]
An average of 797 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at PUTTELANGE-LES-THIONVILLE, 4.1 km away at 190 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
