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.With two disappointing summers behind us, members of the public are making the most of the sunshine as they take time out to enjoy the hot weather.
There have been concerns about the heatwave as The Met Office raised its alert level to 3 out of a possible 4 for London and the South East.
Temperatures are set to reach at least 32C - and although we're unlikely to reach the record for this time of year which was 36C in both 1976 and 2003 - the average temperature for this time is around 23C.
The Environment Agency has warned that certain areas are to be hit by flash floods and as it's unlikely the weather will stay as hot over the weekend, people are taking every opportunity to bask in the sunshine while it lasts.
