The country has been deluged with record rainfall over the past few weeks, but tennis fans can be confident that Wimbledon won't be a washout.
The grand slam, which opens on Monday, will have a sunny start, forecasters said, with warm temperatures to continue throughout the first week of the fortnight-long tournament.
Play at SW19 may be interrupted by some showers, but fans can expect to see lots of play, said Brendan Jones, a senior forecaster with Meteogroup, the weather division of the Press Association.
Wimbledon won't be a washout, forecasters predict
"There's going to be some rain but I don't think it's going to be a washout," he said.
"Today is actually going to be the best day of the week. It's going to be dry, there's going to be some cloud around, but there will be some sunny spells."
He said temperatures will be around 20-21C, making it a pleasant day to watch the tournament's opening games.
Tomorrow will start off dry, Mr Jones said, but will get quite cloudy as the day goes on, with "some lightish rain coming and going".
"There might be a few interruptions as some areas of light rain come through.
"Play may well get off to a good start in the morning, it may get stopped once or twice. Temperatures are still pretty good, about 21C."
He said Wednesday and Thursday will start to heat up, getting more humid, with temperatures rising on Wednesday to 23C.
"There's not going to be a lot of sunshine around," he said. "Once this humidity starts building there will be quite a bit of cloud."
Fans can expect a similar day on Thursday, with temperatures up to 25 and 26C, but Mr Jones added: "What tends to happen when it gets really humid is you start to get this risk of downpours.
"It could well be that Wimbledon misses the storms but it could catch one of these storms, especially on Thursday afternoon or evening."
He said Friday will see a drop in temperature after Thursday's storms, down to around 19C with quite a strong breeze and some sunshine.
And as the tournament moves into its second week, it will be slightly cooler, with bands of rain coming at roughly 12-hour intervals.
"It just depends when it comes," he said. "Is the rain going to come overnight, with dry days, or will it be the other way round?"
Despite the odd downpour, spectators can look forward to seeing some tennis over the next two weeks, Mr Jones added.
"There's not going to be days and days of rain on end, so they should definitely get to see some play.
"It certainly won't be a washout."
The news comes as forecasters suggested this June would be one of the wettest in the last 100 years.
