Vitality score
Vitality score 27.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 20 % of the 13,331 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 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the CLESSE weather station, 7.2 km away at 207 m; the village itself is at 150 m. [12]
The village sits 57 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BRESSUIRE, 9.6 km away at 191 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 868 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CLESSE, 7.2 km away at 207 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Boismé'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.
