Confidence: high.

Better served than 61 % of the 14,718 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

An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 62 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the TUPIN-ET-SEMONS weather station, 7.8 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 460 m. ^[13]

The village sits 310 m above 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at SOUCIEU, 18 km away at 367 m, over 24 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 93 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 783 mm of rain a year, spread over 98 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at LES HAIES, 4.4 km away at 385 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
