While we’re happy to see the British summer in full swing, those long hot nights aren’t exactly ideal.
While soaring temperatures on holiday often come with air-conditioned hotel rooms that save us from tossing and turning in the heat, our own homes can often feel badly equipped when the heatwave hits.
That’s why a trusty fan is top of our summer essentials list – and it doesn’t have to cost a small fortune.
We’ve rounded up some of the top-rated fans and portable air conditioners on the high street to help you style out the heatwave, without breaking a sweat.
Stay cool, dear reader.
