What other ways can you keep cool during the hot weather?
A good fan is a must if you want to keep cool.

The best mini fans to keep you cool in a heatwave — tried and tested
Once only seen in the hands of hot, dispirited tourists staggering through European cities in August, portable fans have become the hottest commuter accessory to combat Britain's recent heatwaves. From hands-free neck fans to a bargain £12 buy, here are six of the best picks to stay cool this summer. A similar model to the John Lewis handheld fan (below), but slightly larger and feels a little more powerful (though this does make it a bit noisier on the full-speed setting). It handily folds in half to become a desktop fan, takes four hours to charge fully, and the battery will last for 4-12 hours depending on the speed you Probably the chicest fan we tried (it looks more expensive than its bargain price), it is compact, quiet and has three speed settings. Like the Bush fan, the handle turns into a fold-out stand. It takes about five hours to charge, and the battery will last about nine hours on low speed, six hours on medium and four hours on high. • The best standing and desk fans to buy now The flexible tripod legs on this are super handy for wrapping around the handle of a buggy or desk lamp — or can be used as a stand to set the fan on a table. It's very powerful at full speed and has a long battery life: the charge will last for 12-24 hours depending on which of its four speed settings you're Lightweight, comfortable to wear and stays in place well — great if you're wearing it on a sunny walk or bike ride. There are three speeds to choose between, however the top speed setting is less powerful than some of the other options. The battery lasts 4-16 hours depending on the speed • Don't sleep naked — the nine best tips on how to sleep in the heat A brilliant hands-free option. The top speed (it has three in total) does sound a bit like a hairdryer if you're using it somewhere quiet, but this and the Jisulife neck fan option are great if you want something that looks low-key — both could pass as a pair of headphones at a • Heatwaves set to break UK weather records — but not today A compact, powerful — and actually quite stylish — handheld fan. It's lightweight, has a dial rather than fixed settings to adjust the speed, and can be fully charged in just an hour and a half. The quickest of the lot. The one downside is the battery charge doesn't last as long as some of the other options when used on full power — only three hours on average.

Alan Titchmarsh's top 7 plants that ‘transform ugly fences with gorgeous flowers & fragrance' & they grow for years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEY might not be the most instant transformers. But climbing plants can be a brilliant way to hide ugly fences or walls, and there are seven in particular that gardening pro Alan Titchmarsh recommends. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Alan Titchmarsh has revealed the seven climbing plants that are perfect for covering up ugly walls and fences Credit: YouTube 3 They provide pretty flowers and gorgeous fragrance when trailed on fences Credit: YouTube "Climbing plants are wonderful for transforming ugly sheds, walls and fences with a mass of flowers, foliage and fragrance," he said in an installment of his Gardening With Alan Titchmarsh video series on YouTube. "The wonderful thing about climbers is that there's a climber for every situation!" The former Ground Force presenter went on to detail his favourite climbing plants, as he explained where and when they can be used. At the very top of his list is the Clematis 'Shimmer', which is perfect for growing in full sun or partial shade. It produces large flowers, in this instance purple, and does that a couple of times per year. Second on the list, the Clematis 'Montana'. These "very, very vigorous" plants will "cover the side of a cathedral", Alan said, and can grow up to 12 metres in height. So they definitely aren't the ones to choose if you've got a small area you want to cover. With both the Montana and Shimmer varieties, they like their "roots in the shade and heads in the sun". "When you plant them, a little bit of flagstone laid on the area around the roots will stop the sun from striking it and drying the soil out," Alan explained. The four easy steps to get your tired lawn lush for summer & you don't need to worry about pigeons ruining it either If you've got a spot in the shade that needs covering with a climbing plant, it's worth considering Lonicera 'Scentsation' (Honeysuckle). The "woodland native" that's "happy in dappled shade" produces spidery flowers and "the most glorious" honeysuckle scent. It can grow to between four and nine metres, and flowers the most during spring and summer. "It has twining stems, so loosely loop them in as they grow to cover the area you want to," he added. Or, if you want a "reliable" climber, then the Hydrangea petiolaris is a good choice. It's suitable for shade, and can grow up to eight metres wide. How to encourage wildlife into your garden THE Woodland Trust shared five top tips 1. Grow wild Let nature take its course to create a more attractive environment for all things wild. You don't have to leave your plot to develop into a small jungle – wildlife will thank you for just a small corner, border or planter. 2. Plant trees and shrubs Research has shown that gardens are more attractive to wildlife if they have trees. And those trees can bring a host of other benefits too, from reducing noise and flooding to fighting climate change. 3. Create homes If you want to attract a particular species, a ready-made home can look especially appealing to any wildlife passing through. 4. Offer a water source Water is crucial for wildlife. Making some available in your garden could be a lifeline, especially in extreme weather. 5. Serve an extra meal One of the best ways to persuade a plethora of wildlife to your patch is to give them access to an easy meal. And the main draw of the plant is that it's a "self clinger", that "glues itself to the wall as it spreads". "It will cover quite a large area on a wall that's often too shady to cover with anything else," Alan continued. The Thunbergia 'Black Eyed Susan' is up next, and grows up to 2.5m tall. While the majority of the plants Alan has recommended are perennial, this is annual - meaning it only survives for one year. But it makes a pretty addition to a garden for "late spring, early summer and right through to early autumn". The sixth plant on Alan's list, which can top 9m in height, is the Rhyncospermum Jasminoides. "This is another plant for a sunny, warm fence," he said. "Give it sun and you'll get these glorious white flowers and a fabulous scent." The seventh and final climber Alan recommends is the Solanum crispum 'Glasnevin'. It's more of a "shrubby" climber that doesn't cling, you have to train it to grow where you want it to. And he added that it's also a good choice if you're short on space, as there's a nifty way you can train it for a smaller area too.
