However, for those who prefer chillier temperatures, Aldi has the perfect bargain buy to cool you down.
Fans are a great way to keep you cool, and are super cheap to run.
Landing in stores on Thursday, June 5th, Aldi's sell-out Bladeless Fan and Air Cooler is perfect for penny-pinchers.
The purse-friendly buy is priced at just £39.99, and features a sleek and minimalistic design.
It has three different speed settings, from low to high and has three different modes, normal, nature and sleep, to suit your every need.
The nifty gadget also oscillates to ensure the whole room is cooled down, and is super easy to control, thanks to the digital touchpad and remote control.
And the budget supermarket is also selling an air cooler, for days when a fan just won't cut it.
Aldi said: "Stay comfortable this summer with Aldi's sell-out Air Cooler (£39.99), that uses evaporative cooling technology for an affordable solution to chilling out – simply add water to the 5.5L tank to circulate cool air.
"Featuring three speed levels, a 0-12-hour timer, remote control, LED light display, four ice boxes and automatic air-swing, it's the ideal alternative to pricey air conditioning."
The bargain buys will be located in the middle aisle of Aldi stores, as part of its Specialbuys range.

However, shoppers better be quick if they want to snap up the bargain since, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
The Aldi fan is a whopping £300 cheaper than Dyson's Cool Tower Fan, which is currently on sale at Curry's for £349.99.
The Dyson fan has many similar features to the Aldi buy, but comes with an impressive 10 speed settings.
Dyson said: "The bladeless Dyson AM07 Tower Fan with Air Multiplier technology keeps your room constantly refreshed, with low noise and energy emissions."
Rival supermarket Lidl also has a bladeless fan landing in stores in the coming days.
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.
The Silvercrest bladeless desk fan, is cheaper than Aldi's offering, and is priced at £29.99.
It has 10 different speeds which can cope with everything from mild heat to blazing sunshine.
The manufacturer says another benefit of the gadget is it's simplicity – no blades means it is very easy to clean.
There are other bonuses too – as it is bladeless, there is no risk of injury.
The fan also has an impressive LED display which allows the fan's speed settings and the timer to be easily visible at night or throughout the day.

Comedian hits out at London's E-bike licensing creating ‘Checkpoint Charlies'
Conflicting council decisions on electric bike licensing have created a "Checkpoint Charlie" situation near London bridges, according to comedian Dara O Briain. The Irish stand-up highlighted the issue of e-bikes "stacking up" at river crossings between the boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond in west London. Hounslow has granted permission for Forest and Voi's e-bikes to operate within its boundaries, while Richmond has licensed rival company Lime. This disparity means riders face a "patchwork of boundaries", preventing seamless travel across boroughs. Lime, one of the rental companies, has urged councils to collaborate to resolve the issue. The latter said it has agreed to a request by Hounslow for its bikes' electric motors to cut out if riders enter the borough. This causes the bikes to become heavy to ride, resulting in many users ending their trips. The PA news agency saw about 30 bikes near the southern entrance to Chiswick Bridge on Monday night. Some were parked appropriately to the side of pavements, but others had been thrown in bushes or tipped over. O Briain, 53, likened the issue to the Checkpoint Charlie border crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. In a post on social media platform X, he wrote: 'Hounslow Council have banned Lime bikes, and licensed Forest and Voi; neighbouring Richmond has licensed Lime and banned the others. 'So every bridge is Checkpoint Charlie, with loads of Lime bikes parked on one side and loads of Forest and Voi on the other. Top work everyone!' Richard Dilks, chief executive of shared transport charity CoMoUK, said: 'This rather bizarre set of circumstances is an unfortunate outcome of the current situation in London, where regulation of bike sharing schemes is decided at borough level.' He said the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill going through Parliament could make Transport for London the capital's licensing authority for rental e-bikes, enabling a 'more coherent pan-London approach' to be designed. A spokesperson for Lime said the existing scenario is 'frustrating for riders'. She said: 'We've already been contacted by many of them who are disappointed at the new rules. 'They should not have to experience London as a patchwork of boundaries. 'We want to see councils work together so that residents can travel seamlessly across boroughs, without having to stop at borders.' Alex Berwin, head of policy at Forest, said the issue is 'exactly why we have been calling for a pan-London approach to regulation'. He went on: 'We need a single regulatory framework, one enforcement model and one operational rulebook across the capital, whilst ensuring services support the local needs of each borough.' A Voi spokesperson said its users are 'free to cycle across borough boundaries, but parking must be in designated bays within participating areas'. He added: 'We're working with local leaders and TfL towards a London-wide scheme to make cross-borough journeys simpler.' Rental e-bike companies say they encourage people to switch from cars to a more sustainable form of travel, but there have been long-standing concerns about users blocking pavements with the bikes after they finish their rides. A spokesperson for Hounslow Council said: 'The issue of neighbouring boroughs having different e-bike operators is not unique to Hounslow. This is an issue at many boundaries wherever there is a change in operator. E-bike service areas are dynamic, with boroughs deciding to review operators at different points. 'We recognise that a borough-by-borough approach can be confusing for users and we continue to work closely with Transport for London and neighbouring boroughs to make the case to the Department for Transport for a pan-London approach. In the meantime, we are bringing in new measures to ensure e-bikes are better managed when left at the end of a journey.'

Gladiators in chaos as FOUR stars are injured during filming for new BBC series
Gladiators is in chaos after four of the athletes were are injured during filming for the new series. Professionals, Legend, Diamond, Bionic and Athena, have all suffered injuries during the competition, which is set to be aired in January 2026. Filming began last month at Utilita Arena in Sheffield with Bradley Walsh and his son Barney returning to host. Diamond (Livi Sheldon) has suffered a knee injury, rupturing her ACL and MCL during filming. Legend (Matt Morsia) has tore a bicep, while Bionic (Matty Campbell) dislocated his shoulder and Athena (Karenjeet Kaur Bains) also injured her knee. A source told The Sun: 'Gladiators is the ultimate test of speed, strength and endurance - and four of its champions have paid the price.' They added: 'It just goes to show that these games are tough and even our professionals can suffer injuries.' Meanwhile the upcoming series of Celebrity Gladiators will come out just before the civilian one. A new batch of super fit celebrities are set to take on the Gladiators in a battle of strength and skill. The reboot of Gladiators was a smash hit when it aired last year, and a celebrity spin-off was quickly commissioned, featuring comedians and gym lovers. But this year the casting team have stepped it up and found four stars who can definitely give the Gladiators a run for their money. The Sun reported last month that model Vogue Williams will be joined on the show by fitness guru Joe Wicks, former Olympic boxer Nicola Adams, and gym-obsessed I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson. Vogue won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and regularly shares fitness tips and workout videos with her Instagram followers. Meanwhile Joe dominated British TV screens during Covid thanks to his at-home workout clips, and reality star Sam often shares his gym progress. Former Olympian Nicola could however prove the one to beat, after retiring undefeated in 2019 and becoming the first female boxer to become an Olympic champion after winning gold at London 2012. A source told the publication: 'Last year, producers of the debut celebrity version played it for laughs with three comedians taking part — with hilarious results for viewers. 'But this year they've assembled four celebrities who can give the Gladiators a serious run for their money, and serve up a clash to savour. The first series of Celebrity Gladiators saw Joel Dommett and Ellie Taylor crowned the winners after a tense finale.

Blind 99-year-old who 'wanted to reach 100' died after being scalded by a cup of tea, inquest hears
A blind 99-year-old woman who 'wanted to reach 100' died after she was scalded by a cup of tea. Margaret Eluned Roberts suffered burns after the hot black tea spilled onto her at a nursing home on Anglesey. An inquest into her death today heard the burn contributed to Mrs Roberts catching a chest infection. But a senior coroner concluded that the death, about five weeks after the burn, was accidental. Kate Robertson, senior coroner for north west Wales, found she died from pneumonia and cellulitis secondary to a burn, with old age, asthma and ischaemic heart disease as contributory factors. Sarah Thomas, a healthcare assistant at Glan Rhos nursing home in Brynsiencyn, who handed Mrs Roberts the cup of black tea, said she knew she was registered blind. She gave it to her in a plastic, two-handled beaker on September 22 last year, saying she was 'very independent' and 'wanted to drink the cup of tea herself'. The healthcare assistant watched Mrs Roberts, sitting in a chair, sip it through a straw in the spout then moved away. Mrs Roberts then spilt the tea on herself at about 7pm, the inquest heard, but Ms Thomas said she didn't hear Mrs Roberts 'scream'. Jo Reavey, a nurse, said in a statement she heard 'Eluned shouting in an urgent tone'. She said she found her 'distraught with her arms raised' and the beaker 'upside down' with 'black tea on her trousers.' The wound started blistering and staff put cold towels on it, the inquest heard. In her statement Linda Pritchard, Mrs Roberts' daughter, said she received a phone call about the incident. She said she asked 'why did they give a blind lady hot black tea?'. An ambulance was called at 7.51pm and arrived at Glan Rhos nursing home at about 10pm. Mrs Roberts was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The wound was initially eight per cent of her body weight but after reddening reduced it was classified as four per cent. This is less than the 10 per cent threshold required for admission to a burns unit. At Ysbyty Gwynedd the blisters were lanced and the wound dressed and she was discharged. Mrs Roberts was returned to Glan Rhos but developed chest problems. On October 7, her daughter, Mrs Pritchard asked for her to be readmitted to Ysbyty Gwynedd. Doctor Abdul Azu, a consultant physician, told the inquest her condition was not improving. She died there on October 28, about five weeks after the scalding. Questioned by Mrs Pritchard, Dr Azu said her mother developed a chest infection. He added: 'Without a doubt the burn has contributed to her (Mrs Roberts) catching the chest infection because she was not moving about. 'She was lying in bed. The scalding was a factor in her declining health,' he added. The coroner Mrs Robertson, said Mrs Roberts died on October 28 'as a result of the medical conditions which were precipitated by the burn injury sustained on her leg.' She said the spillage had been 'unintended and accidental' and gave the cause of death of Mrs Roberts, a former environmental protection poultry meat inspector, as an accident. Mrs Robertson told Mrs Pritchard: 'Mam wanted to reach 100-years-old. It would have been such a significant milestone for her and for you.' She passed on her sincere condolences adding: 'I hope there are fond memories you can rely upon when the time comes.'
