UK heatwave sets stage for hottest Wimbledon start ever in 2025
A severe heatwave in the UK is expected to bring record-breaking temperatures, potentially making it the hottest start to Wimbledon and the hottest day of the year, with temperatures possibly exceeding 35°C, driven by a shift in wind bringing hot air from Spain and France. The heatwave has prompted amber alerts, increased wildfire risk, and health warnings, and is part of a broader pattern of global extreme heat events linked to climate change.
