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.

The milder temperatures experiences by many across the UK are now being swapped for lowering temperatures, frost and fog as we progress through the last week of November. 

The persistent rain seen throughout the country in November won’t be stopping completely, with a band of rain coming in a south-easterly direction covering England and Wales. 

The rain is then set to retreat with a drier day from 3pm for most of the country, followed by a clear nightfall in all but the far southeast of England. 

The northeast and northwest of England are likely to see highs of 8C and enjoy a brighter spell than the rest of the country, with the exception of a few scattered showers in the northwest. 

The highest temperatures will be seen in London, where the mercury will top at 11C, and the coldest parts of the country will be seen in parts of Scotland at just 2C. 

Despite the Met Office stating that things will start to cool down and clear up, there is still one active flood warning in England, with Keswick in the Lake District being told to expect flooding. This comes after heavy rainfall hit large portions of the UK. 

Tonight will be more settled than the daytime, and most parts of the country will be dry with clear skies, turning frosty in places with a few fog patches forming.
