And whilst you may think that forking out for a fan or air conditioner to combat the balmy temperatures will cost you a fortune, Tesco has a purse friendly offering in stores.
The Russell Hobbs Wireless Desk Fan is priced at just £24.99, making it hundreds of pounds cheaper than Dyson's popular fans.
The handy gadget comes with three speed settings, low medium and high, and has a two hour battery life, so you can keep cool whilst on the go.
It also features USB charging, so you can use it non-stop and stylish ambient lighting.
A description reads: "This wireless desk fan helps you stay cool and comfortable, creating a relaxed and productive environment – whatever the weather.
"Enjoy fuss-free cooling at your desk or bedside with 3 speed settings - low, medium, and high - designed for use in close proximity.
"Choose the airflow that suits your comfort, whether it's a gentle breeze, a steady flow, or a cooler setting for warmer days".
Plus the fan is bladeless, making it easy to clean and safer for use around children.
And the Tesco product is over £200 cheaper than Dyson's Cool™ CF1 desk fan which is currently on sale for £249.
The Dyson fan comes in a sleek white or silver design, and has a sleep mode, so it can keep you cool all night, without waking you up.
I'm ALWAYS hot so tried cooling PJs to see if they helped me sleep
More Budget Fans
Lidl's Silvercrest Portable Fan is a great way to keep cool whilst on the go.
The nifty gadget comes in a variety of different colours, including green and yellow and is priced at just £7.99 making it perfect for anyone trying to pinch pennies.
It also has a tiltable fan head and a practical base, so you can stand the fan up whilst sitting at your desk.
The budget buy also comes with a charging cable and a three-year-warranty, so you can guarantee it will keep you cool for years to come.
How to keep cool in hot weather
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
Lidl is also currently selling a Silvercrest Tower fan for £69.99, a whopping £280 cheaper than Dyson's £350 bladeless fan.
Aldi is also selling a Dyson dupe, with its Ambiano Bladeless Fan currently priced at £39.99.
The modern design bladeless fan has three speed settings, high, medium, low, plus three modes: normal, nature and sleep.
You can customise your sleep with the various modes and tailor it to your own temperature needs during the day - and most importantly, for a good night's sleep at bedtime.
Plus, with its bladeless design, it's safe around little people or pets.

Kent farmer's innovation produces bumper crop of cherries
A Kent farmer said he has seen his cherry harvest double in the past five years thanks to industry innovation. Tom Hulme, managing director of growers AC Hulme based near Canterbury, Kent, said this year's cherry season will last 10 weeks, which is double the length of the season five years explained the country's cherry industry has been transformed by the use of dwarf root stock, grafted on to new tree Hulme said: "The British cherry industry is moving at pace again now and new varieties are being brought in that are not only better suited to the British climate to improve quality and taste, but also to help us extend the growing season." The grower said his farm has introduced early season cherries such as sweet aryana and grace star, as well as late season varieties to extend the growing season. The farm has also been controlling air conditions post-harvest to extend the fruit's shelf life, as well as using polytunnels to control conditions. But, he says, they have been given a helping hand by a warm spring. Mr Hulme said: "The good news is that this year we have had pretty decent growing conditions and we are looking forward to a nice long season with the best quality fruit for several years."Mr Hulme is one of many farmers across the UK who have reported their largest predicted cherry yield for three years, according to supermarket Tesco. British growers are set to produce an estimated 8,000 tonnes of cherries – four times the harvest of 2018 and 14 times the yield of 559 tonnes in 2015. Meeting summer demand Tesco cherry buyer Olivia Amey credited the bumper crop to the sunny spring weather. The brand predicts they will be able to sell exclusively British cherries from early Amey said: "The extra sunshine and daylight hours have played a major part in the quality of the fruit we've been sampling from around the country over the last few weeks and we know customers are going to be impressed."It's also meant that overall volume is up early in the season, meaning that we'll be able to meet the usual summer demand for cherries solely with British produce."

Tesco discounts Irish cream liqueur that's 'like Baileys, but better'
Coole Swan's smooth and creamy drink is made with single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate and fresh dairy cream from the brand's family farm in Ireland Fans of Irish cream will be familiar with the pleasure of unwinding on a lengthy summer evening with a glass of something silky, creamy and just the right level of indulgence. While Baileys is likely the traditional choice for many, our shopping editor has another recommendation - and it's currently discounted at Tesco. Coole Swan, the acclaimed Irish cream liqueur, is now available for £20 in selected Tesco stores for Tesco Clubcard holders, reduced from its usual price of £26. That's a saving of £6 on a beverage that some fans describe as 'like Baileys, but better.' The drink is crafted with single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh dairy cream sourced from the brand's family farm in Ireland. One individual has claimed it's in a 'different league' compared to other beverages. And it's not just consumers singing its praises - the drink has also garnered prestigious awards. These include Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and being named the #1 Irish cream liqueur by Tasting Table, reports the Manchester Evening News. In addition to positive customer reviews and numerous accolades, our shopping editor, Narin Flanders, also endorses it. She sampled it alongside Baileys, a long-standing favourite. Shop the range £26 £20 Coole Swan Buy Now on Coole Swan Product Description Narin commented: "Putting the two glasses next to each other, it's easy to see one of the key differences in ingredients reflected in the colour of the glorious nectars. Coole Swan's Belgian white chocolate origins give it a lighter colour than Baileys' rumoured milk chocolate blend. You'd imagine that Coole Swan, being white chocolate-based, would taste sweeter, but to my surprise - and possibly due to the strength of the malt -it tasted more mellow, smoother, and had less of an initial kick." She continued: "While I love Baileys, for me, the taste comes in stages - you have the initial sweet scent and then the first hit of warmth when you swallow, and then it's eased by the cream that extinguishes the fire. Coole Swan has all of the same elements, but somehow they blend in a way where you get them all simultaneously - there's no fiery undertone and no sweet hit; it's just all beautifully, perfectly balanced from the first sip." Adding to her remarks, Narin said: "Both drinks have a similar alcohol volume - Baileys is 17% while Coole Swan is 16% ABV - but Coole Swan feels less boozy, making it drinkable to the point of moreish. But for me, there's one thing that makes Coole Swan a next-level Irish cream choice and worth the slightly more expensive price tag." There are a host of other options on the market as well. Hotel Chocolat's Espresso Martini-flavoured vodka liqueur (£23) has been compared to a boozy tiramisu in a bottle. For those looking for something different, Micil Connemara Irish Cream Liqueur is also available, albeit at a slightly steeper price of £27.67. Turning the spotlight back on Coole Swan, the brand has garnered over 1,200 reviews and an impressive 4.7-star average rating on Amazon. In a similar vein, Tesco customers have lavished the liqueur with a stellar 4.7 out of five stars. One shopper said: "This is so beautiful, creamy and a better class of liqueur. Move over, Baileys, there's a new drink in town." The main bone of contention for consumers appears to be the cost, with one three-star reviewer noting: "This is very much overpriced for a 16% drink; the bottle's not very big either." Yet another reviewer was enamoured by its taste, saying: "The most delicious Irish cream liqueur I have ever tasted. Creamy, luxuriously smooth and very moreish. The taste of alcohol is not overwhelming either, which I find with Baileys and other Irish creams. Don't think I could go back to anything else after trying this; the only downside is the price."
