Wimbledon this year will see the hottest temperatures in the tournament’s 147-year history.

As the All England Club prepares to welcome thousands of spectators in and around SW19, an amber heat health alert has been issued for London and other parts of the UK across the first two days of competition.

There is a 'heat rule' in place at Wimbledon which will see a ten-minute break taken between the second and third set when the heat stress index is at or above 30.1C.

Temperatures are expected to soar into the low 30s, and could peak at 36C. That would be 7C hotter than the previous warmest start to the Championships, when 29.3C was recorded on June 25, 2001.

A record high for the tournament was the 35.7C recorded on July 1, 2015.

The weather will cool somewhat later in the first week and across the first weekend, before climbing against as the quarter-finals and semi-finals begin.
