Recent weather patterns have led to a significant increase in the size of strawberries in the UK, with farmers reporting berries 10-20% larger than usual. This unusual growth follows the sunniest April since 1910, contrasting sharply with the bleak climate earlier in the year. The Independent highlights the need for transparent reporting on issues, such as reproductive rights and environmental changes, advocating for public support to keep quality journalism accessible. Such reporting is crucial at pivotal moments in US history, ensuring voices across the political spectrum are heard without paywalls.
This year's weather has already produced berries that not only look fantastic but are also sweet and full of flavour.
Giant strawberries that cannot fit in your mouth are set to hit UK supermarket shelves this summer, fruit farmers said.
We had the darkest January and February since the 70s, but then the brightest March and April since 1910.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists.
