Temperatures are due to get pretty uncomfortable this week, and it may not be our last blast of heat this year. So it's perfect timing to invest in some sort of air cooler. 

A conventional fan will do a great job of cooling you down, but it will do little to lower the temperature in your room. What you'd need for that is an air cooler, or an air conditioner. 

Air conditioners can cost hundreds of pounds, they weigh a ton, they need to be vented, and they use a lot of electricity. But this £29.98 air cooler on Amazon would tick a lot of boxes.
