Vitality score

Vitality score 39.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 78 % of the 16,844 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 15.9

Days at or below 0 °C 30

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the TRESSON_SAPC weather station, 7.8 km away at 154 m; the village itself is at 77 m. ^[9]

The village sits 77 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[9]

An average of 717 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at TRESSON_SAPC, 7.8 km away at 154 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]
