WIMBLEDON fans are braving drizzle today as they head to the famous courts… but there is relief on the horizon.

The Met Office has predicted a cool June day with heavy rain in northern and southern parts of the UK.

This comes as fans may have travelled to see Andy Murray take to Centre Court today, ten years on from his first historic Wimbledon victory.

Action on Centre Court begins at 1.30pm, with Murray facing Ryan Peniston in the second match of the day at approximately 2.45pm.

But heavy rain is predicted in London from around 9am, which could cause match delays.

Yesterday play was suspended between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Pedro Cachin of Argentina due to the poor weather conditions.

Those in areas along the south coast such as Brighton, Exeter and Plymouth can also expect showers this morning which last until the evening.

Parts of Wales including Cardiff and Pembroke are forecast to experience the same rainfall, but it should pass through quicker and ease up by late afternoon.

Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle are set to remain pretty much in the clear, but may see some light intermittent showers.

Heavy rain is also due to hit Glasgow and Edinburgh this morning but it should stop around 2pm.
