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.Following last week’s heatwave, the weather across the UK has made a turn into the opposite direction with much lower temperatures, showers of rain and wind to dominate this week.
A yellow rain warning put in place by the Met Office on Sunday morning will remain in place until 3pm on Monday, covering a huge swathe of the west of Scotland and northern England and Northern Ireland.
The Environment Agency has issued one red flood warning for the Keswick Campsite area in the Lake District, where the level to the Derwentwater River is expected to rise until mid-afternoon on Monday.
Heavy, persistent rain is expected in these areas, which may lead to “flooding of a few homes and businesses” and disruption to journeys. Showers may turn thundery in eastern Scotland.
Northern and central areas will see the wet weather ease, but conditions will stay windy and “disappointingly cool”, said the Met Office. Temperatures will struggle to reach the high teens, expected to peak at just 19C in London
Gusty winds today are expected to reach speeds of 35-40 mph, but will ease slowly throughout the week.
A weather front moving up from the English Channel will lead to outbreaks of rain across southern England on Tuesday, but things may become brighter later in the day and temperatures will be a touch warmer.
It will be mostly cloudy elsewhere and scattered showers are expected, perhaps heavier in eastern Scotland.
Rain and wind will become more settled by Wednesday, although it will still be generally cloudy and a few showers may fall, becoming heavy in the afternoon. Conditions are expected to brighten up in the south and west later in the day.
