Wimbledon 2024 is well under way in London with top players from all around the world including Emma Raducanu, Harriet Dart and Andy Murray all competing for a victory title.
However, in true British style, the UK summer weather this July has come to let players as well as visitors down as rain continues to wash out the outside courts and even put a dampener on those attending - so what is the weather forecast for Wimbledon tennis today?
With no heatwave on the horizon just yet, and temperatures being much colder this month than we're used to, here's what the Met Office has to say about the conditions over the tennis tournament for the next round of games.
Here's everything you need to know including order of play today and what happens at Wimbledon when it rains.
What is the weather forecast for Wimbledon today?
Despite days of play interrupted by rain and wind, Wimbledon players should be in for a good day today as weather will remain dry for the majority.
With play beginning from 11am in some tournaments, the Met Office has forecast grey clouds but only a 10% chance of rain which will increase to 30% around lunchtime.
From 3pm onwards, the forecast reveals sunny and cloudy conditions for the rest of the afternoon - a welcome break from the constant downpours.

What is the order of play today at Wimbledon?
Playing on the Centre Court are the Gentlemen's and Ladies' Singles Quarter Finals. The matches are:
- E. Rybakina (KAZ) Vs E. Svitolina (UKR)
- A. de Minaur (AUS) Vs. N. Djokovic (SRB)
Court 1 will be Quarter Finals matches:
- J. Ostapenko (LAT) Vs B. Krejcikova (CZE)
- L. Musetti (ITA) Vs T. Fritz (USA)
On the No.2 court, which should hopefully not be disrupted by poor weather conditions are the Ladie's Doubles and the second round of the Mixed Doubles.
Court 3 will feature Ladies' Double Quarter Finals, Gentleman's Double Quarter Finals and Mixed Invitation Doubles.
Does Wimbledon get canceled if it's raining?
Luckily, the Centre Court and Court 1 won't see any disruption to the tennis schedule as they have roofs that can be opened and closed.
However, play on outside courts will be paused if it rains, with umpires stopping the game as the point finishes. The net will need to be brought in and the court will quickly be covered. Play will resume when conditions improve.
