Climate
Several studies have been conducted to characterize the climate types to which the national territory is exposed. The resulting zonings differ according to the methods used, the nature and number of parameters taken into account, the territorial grid of the data, and the reference period. In 2010, the municipality's climate was classified as a degraded oceanic climate of the plains of central and northern France, according to a study by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) based on a method combining climate data and environmental factors (topography, land use, etc.) and data covering the period 1971-2000.[4]
