Wimbledon organisers prepare for the heat as temperatures soar in SW19
Wimbledon organisers are confident they have the necessary precautions in place to cope with a day one heatwave. It is forecast to be one of the hottest June days ever in parts of the UK, with temperatures expected to well exceed 30C in SW19. Advertisement A heat rule is likely to be in place for the players, meaning an extra 10-minute break between sets two and three in women's singles and three and four in men's singles, but it could also be a difficult day for fans and officials. Chief executive Sally Bolton said: 'Obviously it's a very warm day. The first obvious point to make is that the athletes compete in temperatures like this all year on the tour. For us Brits here at the championships it feels very hot. We do have the heat rule available to us, which is well used on the tour.' Heat stress readings, measuring air temperature, surface temperature and humidity, will be taken at three points during the day, with the heat rule instigated if the reading goes behind 30.1C. Advertisement 'Beyond that we've got protocols in place for the ball boys and ball girls on court,' continued Bolton. 'They've got cooling scarves, we'll be rotating them more if we feel we need to. 'For colleagues working around the grounds we've got plenty of changes in shift patterns to make sure they're getting regular breaks. 'And for the guests that will be joining us we're offering the same advice as lots of the medical professionals – come prepared, bring a hat, wear sunscreen, wear light clothing if you can, take breaks out of the sun. 'We've got over 100 water points around the grounds so definitely stay hydrated, and keep an eye on your friends and others around you. Advertisement 'If people look like they're suffering a little bit from heat stress, we've got a really significantly sized medical team here so we've got people to help if that's needed. 'We're not used to these sort of temperatures but we're absolutely ready for it and actually delighted that it's sunny and not wet like it was last year.' One big change at the tournament this year will be the absence of line judges, with all courts now exclusively using electronic line calling. The decision has not gone down well in the officiating community and with traditionalists, and Bolton insisted it is not a money-saving exercise. Advertisement 'The technology investment we've had to make to deliver ELC is not insignificant,' she said. 'I think it will be a little bit different and I think it will take us all a little bit of time to get used to that but we felt very much that it was time to move on.' Fans attending on the first couple of days at least will have a bumper selection of British players to follow, with 23 in action across the main singles draws, the most since 1984. Numbers in the queue in Monday morning were so high that by 10am organisers were recommending for people intending to join it not to travel. 'I'm sure that the number of Brits in the draw is contributing to that general excitement,' added Bolton.

Strong storms and flooding will be possible today in the Pittsburgh area
Strong storms and flooding are possible today for parts of the Pittsburgh area. Any Alert Days Ahead? Today is a First Alert Weather Day due to a flooding risk. Aware: 5.32" of rain has fallen in Pittsburgh this month, making it the wettest June since 2019. Did you enjoy the one-day break from the rain? Rain and storm chances are back today with downpours potentially leading to flash flooding. We have already seen plenty of rain this month, 5.32" of rain at the Pittsburgh airport. This is already the wettest June since 2019. If we see 0.35" of rain today or more, we will end the month as a top twenty wettest June on record for Pittsburgh. I have everyone seeing rain today, but most of your day will be dry. Most folks will see less than an hour total of rain. KDKA Weather Center Storms may be intense though, with rain rates of 1.5" to 2" possible with the most intense. This means it would only take thirty minutes to see more than an inch of rain. With how saturated the ground is already, intense downpours, and topography that is conducive to flash flooding, the risk for flooding is marginal to slight. As always, if you see water on a road, just find another route other issue today is that some of these storms will have a fast-moving forward speed. If wind speeds on the leading edge hit 58mph or higher, severe thunderstorm warnings will be issued. Oddly enough, the fast-moving storms should help to limit flooding. If storms were expected to move through slower than forecast, we would see our flooding risk be much it comes to the forecast, highs today should hit the mid-80s with temperatures near the high of 84 degrees at noon. Morning temperatures, for the 9th day in a row will fail to dip below 70 degrees. Winds will be light and out of the south. It'll be humid with dew points in the upper 60s for the day. Tuesday highs will also be in the mid to low 80s with high humidity levels remaining in place before Tuesday's cool front passes. Tuesday highs will also be in the mid to low 80s. While it doesn't look like the chance will be as high, flooding and strong winds will be possible again on Tuesday. The rest of the work week should see more comfy weather, even as the high temperatures don't change too much. Humidity levels will sink though, and you'll notice the difference. KDKA Weather Center The 4th of July is looking comfy with just an isolated rain chance at this time. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos
