Vitality score
Vitality score 45.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 82 % of the 15,532 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 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LAMURE-SUR-AZER weather station, 3.7 km away at 456 m; the village itself is at 340 m. [11]
The village sits 116 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 3 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at BLACE, 11.3 km away at 340 m, over 21 summers. [11]
An average of 1,011 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LAMURE-SUR-AZER, 3.7 km away at 456 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 Chambost-Allières'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.
