Thunder and heavy rain are forecast for Monday in the south of England, kicking off a week of wet weather that could put a dampener on some of the UK’s upcoming sporting events.
With scattered downpours forecast, stars from the tennis world due to play on the opening day of Wimbledon on Monday may be forced off court.
Historically, inclement weather has tended to force the postponement of all matches scheduled on any given rainy day at the Championships.
However, the investment in roofs over Centre Court and Court 1 in recent years means the unpredictability of the British weather is less likely to affect the schedule – although the experience of sitting courtside with strawberries and cream in hand may not feel quite the same.
It comes as ticket holders are told they can watch tomorrow s England vs Germany Euro 2020 match on their phones as long as cheering is kept to a minimum.
