Spring sunshine encourages visitors to the coast
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.Visitors enjoying a paddle at Broadstairs, Kent, yesterday as an early dose of spring sunshine gave Britain's coastal resorts a pre-season boost. The dry, bright weather outstripped conditions in many Mediterranean holiday spots and is expected to continue over much of England and Wales today, though tomorrow may be cooler. While Athens was 14C and Cyprus was 12C, two British resorts - Colwyn Bay in North Wales and Skegness in Lincolnshire - recorded temperatures of 18C, the warmest in the country and the highest so far this year. The Welsh Mountain Zoo near Colwyn Bay reported twice the usual number of visitors for early March.
