What’s the latest Wimbledon weather forecast?

The current weather forecast by Met Office predicts sunny weather for the tournament.

Temperatures are set to dip slightly for Saturday, July 6, from a roasting 27C to a still-warm 22C.

Luckily, tennis fans are set to avoid a band of rain sweeping the Midlands.

But initial sunny spells are forecast to turn into cloudy cover for the rest of the day, with lows of 15C.

A lot can change weather-wise as we gear up for week two of the tournament so make sure you keep checking back on Sun Online for the latest weather updates.

How can I get tickets?

The ballot for tickets for Wimbledon 2019 has now closed.

But even if you’ve missed out, that doesn’t mean that you can’t take part in the action.

Wimbledon remains one of the only major sporting events in the UK that still sells tickets on the day of play.

All you have to do is get down to the All England Club and, in true British style, get in the queue.

A limited number of tickets are available daily for Centre Court, No.1 Court and No.2 Court – except for the last four days on Centre Court, when all are sold in advance.

Each day there are also several thousand ground passes available.

These allow the user unlimited access to the outside courts and cost just £25 throughout the opening week of the tournament.
