Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 33 % of the 15,338 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.

Climate

An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 53 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ATHIS-DE-L'ORNE weather station, 4.9 km away at 211 m; the village itself is at 142 m. ^[11]

The village sits 69 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at FLERS, 6.5 km away at 195 m, over 28 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 53 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 944 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ATHIS-DE-L'ORNE, 4.9 km away at 211 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
