Britain hotter than the Med
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.Soaring temperatures provided the perfect excuse to spend a day at the beach as Britain sweltered on the hottest day of the year so far.
Gravesend in Kent recorded the highest temperature with 30.9C and much of southern Britain was hotter than Mediterranean resorts including Malaga and Corfu. Temperatures are expected to drop from today, with rain expected by the middle of the week across most of the country, especially the north and west. But by next weekend there is a chance, at least in the south, that temperatures will once again pass the 30C mark.
