Vitality score
Vitality score 2.5/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 0 % of the 14,217 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ACCOUS weather station, 12 km away at 495 m; the village itself is at 342 m. [11]
The village sits 153 m below 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 9 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at OLORON, 12.1 km away at 295 m, over 18 summers. [11]
An average of 1,620 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ARETTE, 8.9 km away at 426 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…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 Sarrance'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.
