What The Sun's fans are looking for leads to local pressure from police department to renounce report?
I believe the answer is:
heat wave
'report?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'what the sun's fans are looking for leads to local pressure from police department to renounce' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'are' could be 'a' (the 'are' is a metric unit of area) and 'a' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is located in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'wave' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heat wave that I've seen before include "Period of unusually hot weather" , "Long period of hot weather" , "Long spell of hot weather" , "Period of unusually warm weather" , "Spell of unusually hot weather" .)
