Vitality score
Vitality score 14.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 43 % of the 13,969 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 112 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST LARY SOUL weather station, 2.8 km away at 826 m; the village itself is at 1,154 m. [10]
The village sits 328 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BAZUS-AURE, 5.2 km away at 767 m, over 18 summers. [10]
That station sits 387 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 981 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST LARY SOUL, 2.8 km away at 826 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 Azet'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.
