The temperature at Wimbledon on Monday is expected to reach 33C, and possibly 34C.

That will make it easily the hottest opening day to the Championships – exceeding the previous record of 29.3C set in 2001.

The hot weather will stick around on Tuesday, with temperatures once again getting into the low 30s.

While 33C or 34C is the maximum air temperature, if you add in the humidity, the players and spectators will experience a heat index – or ‘feels-like temperature’ – closer to 37C.

It may even feel hotter on court, where there is more restricted airflow.

However, we’re not expecting to reach the highest recorded temperature during the Wimbledon fortnight of 35.7C, which was on 1 July 2015.

Cooler weather will move in for the rest of the week with some rain expected on Wednesday and maybe the weekend.
