London (AFP) - Hot and bothered rail commuters faced the added torment of speed restrictions Wednesday, while female players at sizzling Wimbledon are likely to be offered heat breaks with temperatures set to soar into the mid-90s.
Temperatures could hit 95 degrees Fahrenheit in London today, topping California and Hawaii, with Wimbledon, which kicked off on Monday, bracing for the hottest day in its history.
Organizers have said they will allow female players to take heat breaks, prompting an outcry over a rule that does not apply to the men's tour. — Yahoo News
Women players will be able to take 10 minutes to cool down between the second and third sets when temperatures exceed 90.1 Fahrenheit.
The highest-ever temperature recorded at Wimbledon was 94 degrees Fahrenheit in 1976.
