Vitality score
Vitality score 25.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 58 % of the 18,032 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the JUPILLES weather station, 14 km away at 148 m; the village itself is at 45 m. [10]
The village sits 103 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. [10]
An average of 729 mm of rain a year, spread over 116 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTABON, 1 km away at 49 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
