Vitality score
Vitality score 17/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 17,060 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 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the ST-GLADIE weather station, 7.1 km away at 73 m; the village itself is at 127 m. [13]
The village sits 54 m above 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 13 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at AICIRITS, 8.5 km away at 75 m, over 30 summers. [13]
That station sits 52 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 1,300 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at ST-GLADIE, 7.1 km away at 73 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 Aroue-Ithorots-Olhaïby'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.
