Vitality score
Vitality score 41.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 54 % of the 11,688 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 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the RIBEAU. - ACACI weather station, 4.5 km away at 220 m; the village itself is at 178 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at BERGHEIM-INRAE, 5 km away at 309 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 131 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 697 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at RIBEAU. - ACACI, 4.5 km away at 220 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 Guémar'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.
