Summary
Monday is set to give Wimbledon an ideal start, with dry conditions, sunny spells and highs in the low to mid-20s Celsius.
Tuesday looks more unsettled across the UK, but Greater London should stay mostly drier, with only a small risk of isolated showers.
Midweek, a north-westerly wind is expected to keep the tournament largely dry with light breezes and temperatures holding in the mid-20s.
Into the middle weekend and likely week 2, high pressure could push temperatures higher again, extending a warm, mostly dry pattern after London’s recent 7-day run above 30C.
The outlook follows a June heatwave that already triggered Wimbledon’s heat rule in qualifying, with players allowed a 10-minute break when the heat stress index reaches 30.1C.
