Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 16,747 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MONTMELIAN, 13.7 km away at 264 m, over 21 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 575 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]
