Vitality score
Vitality score 22.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 16,965 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the BANCA weather station, 7.6 km away at 253 m; the village itself is at 250 m. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at BUSTINCE - ST JEAN, 9.2 km away at 189 m, over 21 summers. [13]
That station sits 61 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 1,776 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at BANCA, 7.6 km away at 253 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…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 Arnéguy'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.
