Confidence: high.

Better served than 22 % of the 16,245 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ARTAIX weather station, 9.2 km away at 264 m; the village itself is at 405 m. ^[12]

The village sits 141 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MARCIGNY, 10.3 km away at 250 m, over 10 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 155 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 788 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ARTAIX, 9.2 km away at 264 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
