Vitality score
Vitality score 23.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 64 % of the 17,484 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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [14]
Measured at the MOLESMES_SAPC weather station, 7.7 km away at 355 m; the village itself is at 172 m. [14]
The village sits 183 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [14]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [14]
Humidity measured at MOLESMES_SAPC, 7.7 km away at 355 m, over 14 summers. [14]
That station sits 183 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [14]
An average of 857 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [14]
Rainfall measured at MOLESMES_SAPC, 7.7 km away at 355 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [14]

…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 Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines'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.
