This partially flooded farm track near Royston hardly presents a credible picture for June 2010 as it has been a seemingly dry month contributing to the dusty conditions towards the end of the month. However, a band of heavy showers moving eastwards across the area in the afternoon of 6th yielded rainfall of 22.3 millimetres, followed by a further 6.7 millimetres rainfall the following day. This picture was taken on 8th at 0749 GMT under cloudy skies in a temperature of 13.6°C. The temperature later reached a maximum of 19.0°C for the day but only 1.7 hours sunshine was recorded. An acreage of beet sugar at Lowerfield some 2 km E of Royston took on an attractive border towards the end of June 2010 with the poppies coming into bloom as seen in the above photograph (taken at 0737 GMT on 23rd). The largely clear sky is indicative of the anticyclonic conditions which have settled over the country. A light NNW breeze of mean speed 1 knot gusting to 4 knots is drifting across the landscape and the temperature is 18.5°C, later rising to a maximum of 26.4°C. The fine day in prospect accumulated a sunshine total of 15.3 hours. A recent innovation on the Burloes estate to the SE of Royston is the creation of a grass border around the western edge of the estate which doubles as a refuge for wildlife and as a permissive way for walkers and horse riders. In the above picture the border is here running parallel to the B1039 Barkway Road as viewed up the hill towards Royston. A similar border is already in existence to the S and E of the estate. This photograph was taken on 24th June 2010 at 0816 GMT.  The temperature is 16.8°C and rising rapidly (to a maximum of 25.0°C) whilst total sunshine for the day was 10.2 hours.
