Vitality score
Vitality score 24.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 23 % of the 15,576 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the USINENS weather station, 8.8 km away at 417 m; the village itself is at 494 m. [13]
The village sits 77 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 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at USINENS SA, 8.9 km away at 452 m, over 20 summers. [13]
An average of 1,132 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 10.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at VALLIERES, 6.5 km away at 309 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Menthonnex-sous-Clermont's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
