In July, the gloomy British summer returns, although we enjoyed a small taste of summer last week with a mini heatwave.
Wet weather is predicted for today, the first day of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which draws hundreds of people who wait outside for hours and even set up camp in the open.
What you should know is as follows.
What will the weather be like today?
Wednesday, 3 July, ‘will turn overcast and wet as spells of showery rain sweep through from the north-west,’ BBC Weather forecasts.
‘It will turn increasingly dry through the afternoon and evening, but skies will remain cloudy. Breezy.’
Meanwhile, the Met Office also isn’t too optimistic about the chances of sunshine for those in London and the South East.
Today will have a ‘rather damp and cloudy start clearing to some brighter intervals and isolated showers,’ they said.
The maximum temperature will be 19 °C, so it won’t be cold, but also not barbecue weather, and you’ll need to pack a raincoat.
Photos from yesterday’s Wimbledon queue showed people holding up their umbrellas and wearing hoods to avoid the rain.
The first day of Henley Royal Regatta was a similar story, with people dressed in high heels and summer suits perhaps feeling they would have done better with wellies.
It’s not a total wash out summer though, as London was (briefly) hotter than Barcelona last month.
