Vitality score
Vitality score 51/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).
Better served than 44 % of the 4,136 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
An average of 52 days a year at or above 30 °C and 16 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the CANOHES weather station, 10 km away at 73 m; the village itself is at 14 m. [9]
The village sits 59 m below 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. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 15 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at PERPIGNAN, 11.3 km away at 42 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 611 mm of rain a year, spread over 57 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CANET-EN-ROUSSILLON, 4.3 km away at 16 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 Saleilles'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.
