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.

FORESIGHT SOLAR: Solar farm fund struggles to keep the lights on - but is fighting back
Stock market listed Foresight Solar Fund is in retrenchment mode. It's selling assets – some of its solar farm sites – and buying back shares from shareholders. In just two weeks it faces a discontinuation vote at its annual general meeting, although the special resolution is unlikely to garner sufficient support. Two thirds of shareholders would have to back it to go through – a similar vote last year was not supported. The trust's board also recently confirmed that it had been in 'discussions' with other parties about the future of the fund. Although Foresight remains schtum about the nature of these talks, they are likely to have involved a merger with a similar trust – or going private. It all represents a massive state of flux which will deter many investors from going anywhere near it. Yet Foresight has one big attraction, in the shape of the income it derives from the energy its solar panel farms generate. Since launching in late 2013 the trust has increased the dividends it pays to shareholders every year. For the 2024 financial year it handed out quarterly dividends totalling 8p a share. This year the intention is to tickle up the annual payment to 8.1p. For new investors this income is made all the more compelling by the fact that the trust's shares sit at a massive 30 per cent discount to the value of underlying assets. The result is a share price of 77p, compared to the £1 price that shares were issued at in October 2013 – and an annual dividend equivalent to 10.6 per cent. Foresight is not alone. Double-digit share price discounts are currently common within the renewable energy infrastructure trust sector – and, for that matter, across infrastructure funds generally. They are a reflection of higher gilt yields, making these income-focused trusts comparatively less attractive. Concerns over persistent inflation, weak economic growth and sticky interest rates have also dampened institutional interest. Over the past year the average renewable energy infrastructure trust has delivered investors a total loss of 6.7 per cent, while Foresight's losses are less at 1.5 per cent. To contextualise, Foresight has generated a ten-year return of 46 per cent. Ross Driver, manager of Foresight Solar, says they are doing all they can to improve matters. The solar sites it owns in Australia are being disposed of, as are selected operations in Spain and the UK. In total, it has sites in 58 locations. The proceeds of any sales, says Driver, will be part used to pay down borrowings and return cash to investors. He adds: 'We're selling assets and pulling all the levers while paddling with as many oars as possible in a tsunami.' Driver insists that if sentiment within the asset class improves his trust offers investors a good income, with the potential for share price growth. It's a view shared by some analysts. In a note last month, investment bank Peel Hunt said that Foresight Solar's shares offered 'an attractive tactical opportunity' while Rachel May, research analyst at investment group Shore Capital, says that the trust's board is trying hard to narrow the share price discount. While some people are unhappy about the impact of solar farms blighting the countryside, Driver says it's a trade-off. 'We need to decouple the country off a volatile gas price,' he adds. The trust's annual charges total 1.2 per cent and the stock market identification code is BD3QJR5. Its market ticker is FSFL. In total, investment house Foresight manages assets of £12 billion, primarily in infrastructure.

HAMISH MCRAE: Rules are rules when it comes to trade... until all the major players ignore them
You cannot, Mr Bailey, get the toothpaste back into the tube. Last week the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, gave a speech to investment managers in Dublin on how important world trade was to global growth and how the system had to be reformed. So far, so good. But when you go through the detail it was all about trying to rebuild trading relations with Europe and how to make the so-called 'rules based' world trade system work better. And the problem there is that the world has changed. The UK will not go back to anything like a pre-Brexit relationship with Europe, and the US will not go back to a pre-Trump approach to global trade. The task for British political and financial leaders is to exploit the opportunities that have arisen, rather than hark back to a none-too-brilliant past. On Brexit, the Governor was careful to make the disclaimer that as a public servant he didn't take a position on it, but what he said had a clear spin. We had to 'minimise negative effects on trade' and that the changing relationship with Europe has 'weighed on the level of potential supply'. At least he didn't cite the Office for National Statistics' calculation that in the long run Brexit would cost 4 per cent of national output. On that figure I prefer the comment of one of his predecessors, Mervyn King, arguably the most notable UK economist of his generation: 'They can't possibly know that. They just make it up.' Nor did Bailey refer to the determined drive by Europe to make banks shift their business and people to EU centres, including Dublin. Instead it was all about trade in finance being 'a two-way street', failing to mention that the UK has a huge surplus on exports of financial services, or indeed that there were 678,000 jobs in the City of London at the end of 2023, some 30 per cent more than in 2016. Of course we need as good a relationship as possible with all trading partners, but we need to acknowledge that, insofar as the City has been successful post-Brexit, it is despite hostility from Europe. As the still bubbling row about transferring euro-derivatives clearing from London to the EU shows, realistically that hostility will continue. On world trade the Governor acknowledged that the system has come under too much strain 'and it is incorrect to dismiss those who argue for restrictions on trade as just wrong-headed'. And the blame for imposing that strain goes mainly to China, which as he noted, heavily subsidised key industries to help them dominate world markets. China imposed 5,400 'subsidy policies' between 2009 and 2022, two-thirds of the global total. He made the point, too, that it was reasonable for countries to seek security of supply, but suggested they do so by dealing with reliable partners rather than trying to bring production back home. These are sensible comments, in particular acknowledging that Donald Trump has a point and China has abused global trading rules. He notes the damage done to trade by Covid and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He points out how important trade in services is, particularly for the UK. It's an interesting, thoughtful and conventional analysis, and maybe that is what we should expect from a central banker – but I fear it is a naive one. Why? Take Europe. There is a huge trading imbalance between the UK and EU. They sell far more goods to us than they buy, and we export more services to them. But they are not going to change their rules to increase their imports of services. Take China. It's not going to stop subsidising its industries for fear of getting ticked off by the World Trade Organization. As for the US, it has given up on the whole International Monetary Fund-WTO system, that's that. So instead we have to negotiate our way through a bilateral trading world. The UK has made a good start. There are lots of reasons to attack our Government's financial policies, but doing deals with the US, the world's largest economy, and India, soon to be the third largest, deserves to be welcomed. We seem to have a slightly better relationship with Europe, and I don't see why we shouldn't get on with China. Let's try to be nice, as Andrew Bailey was in Dublin, but let's be aware that the rules-based order is dead.

Tesco launches new ice coffees by iconic chocolate brand for only £3.50 just in time for the summer
TESCO has launched a brand new ice coffee from an iconic chocolate brand in time for the summer months. The new Galaxy Frappes have hit stores now, and are available in caramel and mocha flavours. 2 These chocolatey treats are available exclusively at Tesco. A spokesperson said: "It's everything you love about frappes - now ready to make your way. "Feeling indulgent? Then, perhaps add whipped cream, your favourite syrup or maybe even top with strawberries. "It's the easiest way to enjoy a deliciously cool frappe at home or make to-go." How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. All you need to do is add ice and choice of milk to the mix to make the treat. It can be bought from Tesco, with an RRP of £3.50. The Galaxy Frappes are not the only chocolate treat to have hit Tesco's shelves in recent weeks. Shoppers have gone wild for a layered with a crispy cereal shell. They are described as a "deliciously light yet indulgent snack". It was posted to the popular New F when a keen-eyed shopper spotted in in stores. "We will have to be on the lookout for these they look good," another posted.
