Vitality score
Vitality score 24.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 72 % of the 16,607 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LE ROULIER_SAPC weather station, 8.4 km away at 449 m; the village itself is at 346 m. [12]
The village sits 103 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °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 1 day a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at EPINAL, 13.3 km away at 317 m, over 30 summers. [12]
An average of 987 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at PADOUX, 4.7 km away at 342 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 Gugnécourt'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.
