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.

Summer is set to make a return this week, with temperatues potentially climbing above 25C for some parts of Britain by Thursday.

While the warm weather is expected to continue, it will not remain dry, according to the Met Office.

Early Monday morning, rain is forceast over Wales, the West Midlands, the south west and parts of the south east including London.

Light rain is expected to continue in the West with Eastern areas remaining dry.

The Met Office has predicted it could be “very warm and humid for many” as we move through the week.

By Thursday, the temperature in London is forecast to reach highs of up to 27C, with other areas around 25C.

To become an Indian Summer, tradition states a warm calm spell of weather must be recorded in the months of October and November.

While leaves might turn yellow and golden in mid-September, autumn officially begins on the Autumn equinox around the 22 September.
