Juvignac (French pronunciation: [ʒyviɲak]; Occitan: Juvinhac) is a commune in the Hérault département in the Occitanie region in southern France.
Geography
[edit]
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
[edit]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]
Natural environments and biodiversity
[edit]
The inventory of natural areas of ecological, faunistic, and floristic interest (Zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique, ZNIEFF) is a French national program aimed at identifying ecologically significant areas to enhance knowledge of natural heritage and aid decision-makers in integrating environmental concerns into land-use planning. One type 1 ZNIEFF[Note 1] is recorded in the commune:[10] the 'Mosson Valley from Grabels to St-Jean-de-Védas', covering approximately 114 hectares (282 acres) across five communes in the department.[11]
Urbanism
[edit]Typology
[edit]As of January 1, 2024, Juvignac is classified as an ‘ceinture urbaine’ (urban belt) according to the new seven-level commune density grid established by Insee in 2022.[l 1] It is part of the urban unit of Montpellier,[Note 2] an intra-departmental agglomeration comprising 22 communes, of which Juvignac is a suburban commune.[Note 3][l 2][l 3] Additionally, Juvignac belongs to the Montpellier attraction area, where it is designated as a commuter town.[Note 4][l 3] This area, encompassing 161 communes, falls under the category of areas with 700,000 inhabitants or more (excluding Paris).[l 4]

[edit]Notes and references
[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ 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.
- ^ 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.
- ^ 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.
- ^ 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.
