Doctors' orders: enjoy the sunshine while you can
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.There's more than just a tan to be gained by getting out in the sun, according to Arthritis Research UK. The charity has urged people to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather this week to top up their levels of vitamin D, for which the main source is exposure to sunshine.
As Britain welcomed the official arrival of summer time and lighter evenings after the clocks went forward yesterday, Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire was the warmest place in the UK at 22.3C – a Scottish record for March.
The Met Office predicted that the fine, dry weather would last for the rest of this week, although forecasters said the UK record temperature for March of 25.6C was not under threat.
