Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The dense cloud over most of the country has been threatening heavy rain - and occasionally delivering it - for days. But, particularly in the south, it could be worse by the end of the week.
When a depression moves across Britain from the Atlantic, the type of weather it brings to any individual location depends very much on the path it takes. Over the past few weeks we have seen - and shall continue to see - a queue of low pressure areas across the Atlantic, all waiting to bring rain to our shores.
The south of the country - except for the extreme south-west - has tended to avoid the worst of the weather so far because of southerly and south- westerly winds carrying the rain in a north-easterly direction.
If you have been following the progress of Low H and Low I over the past few days, you will have noticed that the first seemed to be heading straight for us, but now seems to be heading off to the north - which is good news for south-west England, but wet for Ireland. Low I, however, is still on course, which is why the forecast for later this week is for more rain in the south-east. On the brighter side, these cloudy conditions do keep us warm at this time of year, so, despite the general feeling that it's a typical wet November, we can gain some consolation from the fact that it's warmer than usual.
