Vitality score
Vitality score 58/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 56 % of the 2,416 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 82 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LES ARCS_SAPC weather station, 8 km away at 55 m; the village itself is at 25 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 18 days a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at VIDAUBAN, 10 km away at 282 m, over 16 summers. [11]
That station sits 257 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 786 mm of rain a year, spread over 62 days — about 12.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LES ARCS_SAPC, 8 km away at 55 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 Le Muy'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.
