London weather: 'Killer' heatwave to hit 36C in hottest-ever start for Wimbledon

The start of this year's Wimbledon Tennis Championships is set to be the hottest in the tournament's 147-year history. Forecasters are expecting temperatures in the capital to rise during the week as the All England Club opens its doors to spectators. The mercury will soar each day into the high 20s and low 30s, before peaking at a scorching 36C during the start of the grand slam in south-west London. Monday's weather is expected to be 7C hotter than the warmest start to The Championships so far on June 25, 2001, when 29.3 (87.4) was recorded at Kew Gardens, the nearest observation site to the stadium. Such temperatures would also beat the tournament's record high of 35.7C on July 1, 2015. It comes as an amber heat health alert is issued for London and other parts of the UK from Friday until Tuesday. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued the alert covering the East Midlands, South East, South West, East of England and London. The agency has warned that significant impacts are likely across health and social care services, including an increase in demand, during the alert period. An amber alert was previously issued for all regions in England on June 19, the first time it had been used since September 2023. On the same day the UK recorded its warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures reaching 32.2C in Kew, west London, before heatwaves were declared across England and Wales. Wimbledon matches could be suspended, with a 'Heat Rule' in operation for players. It allows a ten minute break to be taken between the second and third set when the heat stress index is at or above 30.1C (86.2F). Staff are also on standby to treat fans should they begin to suffer in the crowd, with 350 volunteer first-aiders, nurses, paramedics and doctors on site throughout the event. The city has already seen several prolonged periods of heat over the last few weeks, a pattern the Met Office said was likely to continue. 'There are signs of more widely settled weather during the second half of July, however this signal is very tentative,' the forecaster said. 'Temperatures are expected to be above average for most areas, especially towards the southeast where there will be an ongoing chance of some very warm or hot conditions at times.' Saturday was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures rising to 33.2C (91.8F) in the village of Charlwood near London Gatwick Airport. In London, a heatwave is triggered when a location records at least three consecutive days where the daily maximum temperature meets or exceeds 28C (82F).

Wimbledon Qualifying serves up exciting appetiser

And just like that, the British grass season is in full swing. While the world's top players battle it out in grass tournaments across the United Kingdom this week, Wimbledon's Qualifying Competition remains conspicuously inconspicuous by comparison. Yet it deserves every bit of glory. Wimbledon's Qualifying Competition is held the week prior to The Championships (Monday, 23 June to Thursday, 26 June). Whilst there are some higher profile tournaments happening concurrently in London (Hurlingham and The Boodles), Wimbledon's Qualifying Competition should be a fixture in tennis fans' diaries. Main draw places on the line For a start, the £15 tickets (about R366), are a steal. Fans are treated to men's and women's singles, from 11:00 till dusk, to determine the final main draw places for The Championships 2025. For those unsuccessful in securing a ticket for The Championships, Wimbledon's Qualifying Competition is an extension of the main event in more ways than one. Whilst qualifying takes place off-site (Wimbledon is the only major that holds its qualifying tournament off-site), the courts, infrastructure, signage, staff, and even the strawberries are all managed by The All England Lawn Tennis Club. It is quintessentially Wimbledon. As for the players, there is every chance of seeing a past champion or two, or a rising star from last month's Roland-Garros. Take former US Open Champion Bianca Andreescu, for starters. The Canadian drew crowds who got more bang for their £15, in watching her progress to the second round, when she lost to compatriot Carson Branstine in three sets – 7-6 (7/3), 4-6, 6-1. Branstine also defeated French hope Lois Boisson, the fairytale star of last month's Roland-Garros, where the then ranked 361 wildcard progressed to the semi-finals. Whilst her ranking shot up to world No 65 as a result, Boisson still had to go through Wimbledon Qualifying, as she was outside the top 400 at the time of applying. Sadly the magic wasn't repeated, as she was defeated in three closely fought sets 6-2, 6-7 (7/1), 6-4. Wimbledon 2024 and Australian Open 2025 doubles champion Taylor Townsend of the USA is through to the main draw after upsetting Swiss hope Celine Naeff in a straight sets victory in Thursday's final (6-3, 6-3). Former world No 11 Alizé Cornet's Wimbledon hopes were dashed in Thursday's final, after a two sets (7-5, 6-1) defeat by fellow Frenchwoman Elsa Jacquemot. Cornet came out of retirement earlier this year after a year off, during which she published a second novel, and appeared in a reality television show. Britain's hopes, however, look bright thanks to world No 719 Oliver Tarvet, who has secured a Wimbledon main draw place. His defeat of world No 144 Alexander Blockx of Germany (6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1) in Thursday's final qualifying round means that Wimbledon's main draw will have the highest number of British players (23), since 1984. The Championships, Wimbledon begin on Monday, 30 June. Amisha Savani is reporting exclusively from the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon for The South African .

The Princess Of Wales' Best Wimbledon Looks, As We Anticipate Her 2025 Appearances

The Princess of Wales never looks better (or more enthusiastic!) than during The Championships at Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, Kate Middleton has made her love of tennis known by turning up at the annual event year after year and usually a few times throughout the fortnight. She also saves her brightest, boldest colours for the tennis tournament, becoming a radiant presence in the Royal Box. British labels like Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda are amongst her favourites for the occasion, but so too is fashion-favourite Alessandra Rich. Her polka dot selections from the London-based Italian designer remain amongst the Princess' most well-lauded by fashion folk. What is most energising about the Princess at Wimbledon though is her reactions. While most Royal occasions call for steely disposition, Wimbledon sees her throw caution to the wind and move from spectated to spectator. We see wide smiles, hands on face, and as many 'oohs' and 'aahs' as you can imagine as the rallies only lengthen, her wide-rim sunglasses struggling to hide any favouritism. With the 2025 Championships beginning on 30 June, the world waits in anticipation to see the Princess traverse the steps into the Royal Box. Last year, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she was welcomed with a lengthy standing ovation. And the same sort of reaction could be anticipated for Wimbledon 2025, too. Will the Princess of Wales be at Wimbledon 2025? Certainly. It'll only be in the case of something truly remarkable that'll stop the tennis fan from attending (giving birth to the future King Prince George and a global pandemic putting a spanner in the works previously) and with it the promise of a new trunk of noteworthy summer looks, too. Until then, the Princess of Wales' best Wimbledon looks thus far. The Princess of Wales was greeted with a round of applause when she arrived in the Royal Box at Centre Court wearing a purple Safiyaa dress. She chose a green Roland Mouret dress to present Carlos Alcaraz with the winner's title. She chose sunshine yellow by Roksanda, a dress she wore first during a trip to the Caribbean. Her perfect blow dry was worn with a forest green Emilia Wickstead dress and white pumps. Attending with her husband, Prince William, Catherine looked especially fashion forward in a blue polka dot Alessandra Rich dress styled with slingback stilettos and a Mulberry bag. Catherine stepped onto Centre Court in baby blue Emilia Wickstead to give Novak Djokovic the winner's trophy. In 2021, she chose a blush pink Beulah dress. She chose a navy polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich for the final day of the 2022 Championships. A citrus Self-Portrait skirt suit for the thirteenth day of the 2023 Championships. She wore dark green Dolce & Gabbana dress with gold button detailing to watch the women's finals with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Cambridge arrived with her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, in tow and wore a printed tea dress and carried a Dolce & Gabbana bag. Attending with her friends, Kate Middleton wore a brilliant white dress with a black cardigan. Freelancer
