Wimbledon 2025 has kicked off with record-breaking heat, as the Met Office reported the hottest opening day in the tournament’s history. Provisional data showed temperatures reaching 29.7°C at Kew Gardens, surpassing the previous record of 29.3°C. The scorching heat made conditions tough for players and fans alike on Monday. Organisers implemented additional hydration and cooling measures to support athletes and spectators during the extreme heat. The unusually hot weather follows a broader pattern of high summer temperatures across the UK. The Met Office is continuing to monitor conditions as the tournament progresses over the next two weeks.
