Better served than 87 % of the 16,569 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the MONT-DISSE weather station, 13.6 km away at 156 m; the village itself is at 239 m. ^[12]

The village sits 83 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at PAU-UZEIN, 15.5 km away at 183 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 56 m below 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 1,152 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ARGELOS, 6.9 km away at 218 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
