Geography

Map

Located 34 kilometres (21 mi) from Montpellier, Saint-André-de-Sangonis is nestled in the Hérault Valley, halfway between the Mediterranean Sea and Aveyron. Beautiful landscapes surround this town, including the Salagou lake and the Pic Saint-Loup.

Climate

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. 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.

For the 1971-2000 period, the average annual temperature was 14.4 °C (58 °F) with an annual atmospheric temperature of 16.4 °C (62 °F). The average annual total rainfall during this period was 784 mm, with 6.8 days of precipitation in January and 2.9 days in July. For the subsequent period of 1991 to 2020, the average annual temperature observed at the weather station installed in the commune is 15.5 °C (60 °F), and the average annual total rainfall is 652.4 mm.

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.
