Vitality score

Vitality score 25.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 58 % of the 18,032 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.

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the BOUELLES weather station, 12.2 km away at 232 m; the village itself is at 211 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at BOUELLES, 12.2 km away at 232 m, over 19 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,047 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at FRESNOY, 5 km away at 195 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

…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 Smermesnil'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.
