25 July 2019 Time-lapse: Exceptionally hot

A time-lapse of the hottest July day, and the second hottest of any day in UK records. Thursday 25 July 2019 saw exceptionally high temperatures both across the UK and Western Europe thanks to southerly winds, widely reaching the mid-to-high thirties Celsius! The day itself was very sunny with some convective cloud, as well as a very warm wind. The night following was then also exceptionally warm and humid.

Here are the times of key events in the video. These are the times on the clock in the video, not the video time itself.
