Climate
This commune is located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, in the Hérault département, in the canton of Gignac. The village is part of the Hérault's 4th constituency.
In 2010, the climate of the commune is classified as a frank Mediterranean climate, according to a study based on a dataset covering the 1971-2000 period.[3] In 2020, Météo-France published a typology of climates in mainland France in which the commune is exposed to a Mediterranean climate and is part of the Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon climatic region, characterised by low rainfall in summer, very good sunshine (2,600 h/year), a hot summer 21.5 °C (71 °F), very dry air in summer, dry conditions in all seasons, strong winds (frequency of 40 to 50% of winds > 5 m/s), and little fog.[4]
For the 1971-2000 period, the average annual temperature was 14.3 °C (58 °F) with an annual atmospheric temperature of 16.5 °C (62 °F). The average annual total rainfall during this period was 849 mm, with 6.8 days of precipitation in January and 3.1 days in July.[3] For the subsequent period of 1991 to 2020, the average annual temperature observed at the nearest weather station, located in the commune of Saint-André-de-Sangonis, 3 kilometres (2 mi) away as the crow flies,[5] is 15.5 °C (60 °F) and the average annual total rainfall is 652.4 mm.[6][7]
For the future, climate parameters for the commune projected for 2050, based on different greenhouse gas emission scenarios, can be consulted on a dedicated website published by Météo-France in November 2022.[8]
