Vitality score

Vitality score 37.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 51 % of the 13,610 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

Days at or above 30 °C 22.4

Days at or below 0 °C 36.5

Muggy days a summer 15.9▸

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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 37 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LABASTIDE-CLAIR weather station, 4.5 km away at 23 m; the village itself is at 83 m. ^[10]

The village sits 60 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. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 16 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at AICIRITS, 19.9 km away at 75 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,394 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LABASTIDE-CLAIR, 4.5 km away at 23 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 Ayherre'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.
