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.

Those staring enviably out the office window at today’s great weather shouldn't get too disheartened - after a slightly cooler and cloudy Saturday, Sunday will hit highs of 17C, accompanied by some glorious sunshine.

It might not quite be a summer scorcher - but for mid-March it will feel very warm and bring a second weekend treat in a row, particularly after the months of storms and rain.

The average UK high for March is just 11.6C.

Next week the weather is unfortunately set to cool down and there will be some midweek rain, so sun lovers should make the most of the weekend weather.

The best of the weather will be in the south-east, while things will also be particularly pleasant in the east and north-east of England.

The unseasonable warmth is looking like it could be a precursor to some very hot weather across the UK in a few months time - scientists have predicted that this summer will be the hottest on record.
