LONDON (AP) — After the heatwave came the rain.

The tennis courts were covered and the fans were forced to shelter under umbrellas as rain delayed play on Day 3 of Wimbledon on Wednesday.

The bad weather came after Monday had seen record-breaking Day 1 heat as the temperature rose to 91 degrees Fahrenheit — 33 Celsius — at the oldest Grand Slam tournament.

The temperature then climbed again on Day 2 on Tuesday to 93 degrees Fahrenheit — 34 Celsius.
