| This attractively coloured Robinia tree in Melbourn Street, Royston has become a landmark in its own right, particularly as it is situated between the Police Station (pictured) on its western side and the Town Hall on the other, with the Health Centre (partly visible) to the rear! It is viewed here on 22nd September 2009 at 0827 GMT. The temperature at this time was was 15.4°C and a WSW wind of mean speed 9 knots gusting to 15 knots was refreshing the town air. The clear blue sky heralded a pleasant early Autumn day with a maximum temperature of 21.3°C (after an overnight minimum of 12.2°C) and sunshine of 8.1 hours. | The tractor in this photograph is dragging an additional attachment so that the soil can be ploughed and rolled at the same time. This scene is at Burloes to the SE of the town of Royston on 24th September 2009 at 0801 GMT. Royston has been experiencing a long dry spell with only 8.3 miilimetres rainfall in September up to this date, and only 22.1 millimetres rainfall since 6th August. One of the effects of this is that Autumn ploughing operations in the District have been characterised by large clouds of soil propelled into the air by the ploughs. The field in this picture was fully sown with next season's crop by 28th September. | Moving away from Royston for the last picture this month this is the bridge over the River Severn at Bewdley, Worcestershire (158 km WNW of Royston), as viewed at 1337 GMT on 26th September 2009. This location has suffered serious flooding events in the past but on this occasion the water was so low that it was possible to walk out into the river on the dry exposed river bed. This indicates that the dry conditions mentioned in the adjacent caption have extended right across the country to mid-Wales where the River Severn has its source at Plynlimon Fawr. This bed of geraniums is part of a fine display of flowers at this location. |
