Vitality score

Vitality score 37.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 60 % of the 15,106 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

Days at or above 30 °C 52▸

Days at or below 0 °C 18.1▸

Muggy days a summer 10.9▸

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 52 days a year at or above 30 °C and 18 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the PUYLAURENS weather station, 6.4 km away at 312 m; the village itself is at 199 m. ^[11]

The village sits 113 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °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 11 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DOURGNE, 7.4 km away at 234 m, over 16 summers. ^[11]

An average of 778 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PUYLAURENS, 6.4 km away at 312 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…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 Lempaut'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.
