Vitality score
Vitality score 14.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 36 % of the 15,549 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 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BELLOCQ-PUYOO weather station, 8.2 km away at 49 m; the village itself is at 140 m. [12]
The village sits 91 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 17 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ORTHEZ, 8.4 km away at 96 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 1,292 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BAIGTS-DE-BEARN, 2.1 km away at 164 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Saint-Girons-en-Béarn'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.
