Unfortunately, it seems like the rain won't let us off the hook at Wimbledon. But, there is some good news as the weather forecast predicts brighter skies in London, just in time for Novak Djokovic's match. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows for tennis fans as there will still be some rain throughout the day.
Djokovic is scheduled to play against Australian player Alex de Minaur on centre court at 1.30pm on Wednesday. Thankfully, the forecast is looking fairly optimistic at the moment. The Met Office expects temperatures to reach a high of 23°C today. Although, there may be some rainfall during the day, things are expected to clear up in the afternoon.
According to the spokesperson from the Met Office, the day will start off cloudy with a few showers, possibly heavy in some areas. But, as the day progresses, it should become mostly dry with some sunny spells. It will feel warm in the sunshine, but there will be a breeze. The maximum temperature for the day is expected to be 23°C.
In other news, Djokovic has made it through to the men's singles quarter final. The weather has been quite unpredictable for Wimbledon fans this year, with a mix of dry and warm spells, along with some clouds and rain showers. But, the hourly forecast is looking promising for those hoping to watch Djokovic play.
Currently, there is a 30-40% chance of rain in Wimbledon between 10am and 1pm, which then decreases to 20% by 2pm, just in time for Djokovic's match. It's no surprise that attendance at the tennis championships is lower than previous years, as people choose to watch from the comfort of their homes rather than getting soaked in the stands or on Henman Hill.
According to the Met Office, Greater London has already received more than half of its average monthly rainfall in just one week. This comes as no surprise to tennis fans who have spent their time hiding under umbrellas or ponchos. Other areas in the south east of England, such as Hertfordshire, Essex, and Buckinghamshire, have also experienced 80% or more of their average expected rainfall for the month within the first week.
In the latest news from London, a baby was found dead at home after concerns were raised about their welfare. Londoners can expect to be drenched this week as the rain continues to pour down, with no end in sight. And in a tragic incident, a man was stabbed to death inside a barber shop, leaving behind two children.
