Vitality score
Vitality score 15/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 72 % of the 6,519 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 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the ROUAIROUX weather station, 14.1 km away at 347 m; the village itself is at 689 m. [13]
The village sits 342 m above 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at LABASTIDE-ROUAIROUX, 18.4 km away at 448 m, over 21 summers. [13]
That station sits 241 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 1,521 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 11.4 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at ANGLES, 8.2 km away at 743 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 Le Rialet'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.
