Vitality score

Vitality score 48.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).

Better served than 35 % of the 4,139 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 27.3

Days at or below 0 °C 25.6

Muggy days a summer 15.2▸

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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the LAGOR weather station, 2.5 km away at 125 m; the village itself is at 121 m. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at PAU-UZEIN, 17.3 km away at 183 m, over 30 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 62 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 1,133 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at LAGOR, 2.5 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

…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 Mourenx'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.
