Confidence: high.

Better served than 24 % of the 17,649 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 32 days a year at or above 30 °C and 14 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MONEIN weather station, 7.3 km away at 241 m; the village itself is at 119 m. ^[12]

The village sits 122 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at PAU-UZEIN, 12.3 km away at 183 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 64 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 1,219 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 9.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MONEIN, 7.3 km away at 241 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
