Vitality score
Vitality score 40.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 9,883 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the FONTAINE-DU-BER_SAPC weather station, 4.8 km away at 971 m; the village itself is at 527 m. [10]
The village sits 444 m below 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 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CLERMONT-FD, 7.5 km away at 331 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 196 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 1,020 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at FONTAINE-DU-BER_SAPC, 4.8 km away at 971 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 Durtol'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.
