The recent spell of fine and dry weather looks set to continue for the start of Wimbledon<\/a> and the run-up to Glastonbury Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wimbledon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sun cream and sun hats may well feature alongside the strawberries and cream as Wimbledon gets underway on Monday. The Met Office is forecasting a fairly settled start to the tennis tournament, with a good deal of dry weather and only a risk of the occasional shower.<\/p>\n

Met Office forecasters will be on-site at Wimbledon during the tournament to provide organisers and ground staff with detailed forecasts so they can plan ahead for the conditions.<\/p>\n

Jason Kelly, Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster,\u00a0said: “Even small amounts of rainfall can affect play and interfere with the playing schedule so one of the main challenges for the organisers, and us forecasters, is predicting that rainfall. There are other considerations to take into account too, like temperature and sunshine amounts.”<\/p>\n
