With British summers known for being anything but predictable, the sun finally decided to make a generous appearance over south-west London on Tuesday—just in time for another star-studded day at Wimbledon.
After a weekend that swung between showers and glimpses of sun, the skies cleared, giving celebrity guests a perfect backdrop for some Centre Court action.

Richard E. Grant Shares a Special Moment with His Daughter
Beloved actor Richard E. Grant, 68, made an appearance in the prestigious Royal Box, joined by his daughter Olivia.

More Famous Faces Turn Heads at SW19
Other notable guests included Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, who made it to Wimbledon shortly after competing in the British Grand Prix.

Heatwave Alert Issued as Temperatures Continue to Climb
While the sun brought joy to spectators on Tuesday, health officials are urging caution as a yellow heat health alert has been issued across the southern half of England.
According to the UK Health Security Agency, the alert will be active for seven days starting 10:00am on July 8, with high temperatures expected across London, the Midlands, East of England, South East, and South West.
Health Services Braced for Impact from Rising Heat
The warning comes with serious concern for health and social care systems, as the Met Office expects some areas to officially reach heatwave status, with temperatures potentially hitting the low 30s Celsius by the weekend.
This latest alert follows two amber warnings issued in late June during back-to-back heatwaves.
Wimbledon Begins with Record Heat as June Breaks Records

It also marked the warmest start to Wimbledon on record.
Even June itself went down in history as England’s warmest June ever, according to provisional data from the Met Office.
What Comes Next?
With the heat showing no signs of letting up, fans and players alike should brace for more sweltering days ahead.
Whether it’s courtside or couchside, the action at Wimbledon continues to heat up—both literally and figuratively.
