Wimbledon, London, England

Tournament

Wimbledon

Window

Late June through mid-July

Climate

Wimbledon is played on grass in southwest London. English summer conditions bring mild temperatures with elevated rain risk. Passing showers and cloudy conditions are common features of the tournament. Center Court and Court No. 1 both have retractable roofs; outer courts play open-air.

Weather angle

Rain is the defining Wimbledon weather variable. Roof status on Center Court and Court No. 1 determines whether marquee matches continue uninterrupted. Outer-court matches suspend during any measurable precipitation. Grass surface responds to moisture — slippery footing after showers changes match dynamics through the drying period.
