Vitality score

Vitality score 47.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 89 % of the 16,687 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.

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 21.2

Days at or below 0 °C 34.3

Muggy days a summer 9.4

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the OLORON-STE-MARI weather station, 12.5 km away at 235 m; the village itself is at 280 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at OLORON, 12.8 km away at 295 m, over 18 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,620 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ARETTE, 4 km away at 426 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 Aramits'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.
