Climate
editIn 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, 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.[4]
For the 1971-2000 period, the average annual temperature was 13.9 °C (57 °F) with an annual atmospheric temperature of 15.8 °C (60 °F). The average annual total rainfall during this period was 837 mm, with 6.9 days of precipitation in January and 2.7 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, 9 kilometres (6 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]
Population
editChanges in the number of inhabitants have been documented through population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. For communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, a full census of the population is conducted every five years, with the legal populations for the intervening years estimated through interpolation or extrapolation.[9] For this commune, the first complete census under the new system was carried out in 2004.[10]
In 2021, the commune had a population of 557,[Note 1] reflecting an increase +7.32% since 2015 (Hérault: +7.29%, France excluding Mayotte: +1.84%).
