Vitality score
Vitality score 60.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 79 % of the 3,779 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the RIOM weather station, 4.5 km away at 360 m; the village itself is at 424 m. [10]
The village sits 64 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 CLERMONT-FD, 16.2 km away at 331 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 93 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 639 mm of rain a year, spread over 99 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at RIOM, 4.5 km away at 360 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 Châtel-Guyon'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.
