Vitality score
Vitality score 55.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 1,684 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ROUEN - JARDIN weather station, 6.1 km away at 21 m; the village itself is at 161 m. [11]
The village sits 140 m above 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. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ROUEN-BOOS, 9.9 km away at 156 m, over 30 summers. [11]
An average of 890 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ROUEN - JATTE, 2.7 km away at 63 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [6]

…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 Bois-Guillaume'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.
