Climate

[edit | edit source]

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.[2] 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, characterized 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 (with a frequency of 40 to 50% for winds > 5 m/s), and little fog.[3]

For the 1971-2000 period, the average annual temperature was 14.2 °C (58 °F) with an annual atmospheric temperature of 16.6 °C (62 °F). The average annual total rainfall during this period was 746 mm, with 6 days of precipitation in January and 2.8 days in July.[2] For the subsequent period of 1991 to 2020, the average annual temperature observed at the nearest weather station, located in the commune of Prades-le-Lez, 6 kilometres (4 mi) away as the crow flies,[4] is 14.6 °C (58 °F), and the average annual total rainfall is 869.7 mm.[5][6]

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.[7]
