Vitality score
Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 93 % of the 4,938 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 44 days a year at or above 30 °C and 15 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the PLAN D'AUPS - STE BAUME_SAPC weather station, 4.9 km away at 605 m; the village itself is at 519 m. [10]
The village sits 86 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LE CASTELLET-AERO, 6.1 km away at 417 m, over 30 summers. [10]
That station sits 102 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 961 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 14.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PLAN D'AUPS - STE BAUME_SAPC, 4.9 km away at 605 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 Riboux'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.
