The commune borders Montpellier to the east (separated by the Mosson River), Lavérune and Saint-Jean-de-Védas to the south (meeting at a quadripoint), Saint-Georges-d'Orques to the west, and Grabels to the north. Juvignac is the most populous commune in the western arc of Montpellier. It has a Mediterranean climate, with over three hundred days of sunshine annually.[3]

Climate

In 2010, the climate of the commune was classified as a frank Mediterranean climate, according to a study based on a dataset covering the 1971-2000 period.[4] 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.[5]

From 1971-2000, the average annual temperature was 14.4 °C (58 °F) with an annual atmospheric temperature of 16.5 °C (62 °F). The average annual total rainfall during this period was 695 mm, with 6 days of precipitation in January and 2.8 days in July.[4] 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, 10 kilometres (6 mi) away,[6] was 14.6 °C (58 °F), and the average annual total rainfall was 869.7 mm.[7][8]

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.[9]

Notes

  1. ^ Type 1 ZNIEFF are areas generally of limited size, characterized by the presence of rare or remarkable species, species associations, or habitats that are typical of the regional or national natural heritage.
  2. ^ An urban unit in France is defined as a commune or a group of communes with a continuous built-up area (no gap greater than 200 meters between two buildings) and a population of at least 2,000 inhabitants. A commune must have more than half of its population within this built-up area to qualify as part of an urban unit.
  3. ^ In a multi-communal agglomeration, a commune is classified as suburban when it is not the central city; this means its population is less than 50% of the agglomeration’s total population or that of the most populated commune. In the case of the Montpellier urban unit, there is one central city and 21 suburban communes.
  4. ^ The concept of a functional area replaced the former concept of an urban area in October 2020, enabling consistent comparisons with other European Union countries.
