£16 handheld fan that comes with a torch and powerbank is a heatwave must-have
Scotland is set to be hit with its first full heatwave of the year, with temperatures to soar past 30C this weekend, according to the Met Office. After a couple of mini-heatwaves in recent months, we are now a bit more knowledgeable on what essential items we should be carrying around with us.
For those who are working in an office, travelling or are attending outdoor festivals such as TRNSMT over the coming days, a handheld fan is a must-have item to have in your bag or pocket. Despite its compact size, these nifty machines can provide a strong airflow that can cool you down in an instant.
One popular handheld fan selling on Amazon, that comes with a cute bear design, is the JISULIFE Handheld Fan with a 4500mAh Powerbank. Normally retailing for £19.99, shoppers can now get their hands on this handy fan for only £15.99 in the Prime Day sale.
Shoppers can choose between seven colours, including black, green, pink and purple, but prices do slightly vary up to £19.19. With a max runtime of 46 hours when used on speed one, this handheld fan will keep you cool throughout the day.
Boasting three wind speeds, this fan features enlarged blades that increases the wind speed by 30 per cent compared to the brand's older model. In order to seamlessly fit into your bag or pocket without taking up too much space, this fan features a folding design to make it even more compact.
Now this isn't just your ordinary fan, this device comes with the added bonus of featuring a flashlight and turning into a power bank when in an emergency. This fan is also rechargeable for added ease of use and can be used hands free when placed on a table and folded.

Product Description
Another popular fan on Amazon is the Diveblues iTurbo High-Speed Portable Handheld Turbo Fan. Retailing for £18.99, this device only weighs 113g and boasts a five-speed turbo wind and a LED display so users can check the settings at a quick glance.
Alternatively, Debenhams has dropped the price of the Dyzi 2-in-1 Portable Travel Mini Handheld Desk Table Fan. Normally retailing for £19.99, shoppers can now grab this fan in either purple, pink, white or blue for £11.99. With a LED display, shoppers can see how much battery the fan has left.
Back to the JISULIFE Handheld Fan, it currently has a 4.6 star rating from Amazon shoppers, with over 2,000 people buying the device in the last 30 days. Many shoppers were impressed by the powerful airflow this fan provides despite its compact size.
One happy shopper said: "Love this little fan - it's got three speeds and a torch and is an emergency power bank. Well impressed with the features and fits nicely into my handbag. Quite sturdy too. One button controls the fan and the torch and it provides a really strong fan for its size. Good value for money."
With another adding: "Absolutely great fan... I took it on holiday with me and I certainly needed it. Loved the top speed on the fan, it cooled me down really quickly.
"Even better, I've come home and it's hot here so have been using it here too. Easy to charge and just a touch of the button to make it work. Showed a colleague and sent her the link so she is going to get one."
However, a few shoppers grumbled over how the device struggled to sit on a flat surface. One person wrote: "Creates a great cool flow of air. The con is that you struggle to get it to sit on a flat surface. It topples easily and when in the L position the on off button is awkward to reach. It's fine if hand held."
With another agreeing: "The only slight negative is that it is a little unstable when folded and stood on a table. Overall, I like it and would buy again."
On the flip side, a top reviewer said: "This fan is amazing. Such a relatively small product (fits in your pocket or bag) but is so powerful! 3 speeds, but even speed 1 is strong! I use it for moving between meetings. It's also surprisingly quiet and doesn't interrupt or distract in meetings. AND it's a mega powerful torch AND power bank! Not used the power bank function yet."
With a sixth customer praising: "For the price this fan really is exceptional. Good range if fans speeds, with the highest being surprisingly powerful. Can be handheld or used stand alone on its own folding handle. Very lightweight and compact and the battery does last absolutely ages - it can easily run at a bedside all night long."

Brits travelling to Spain urged to take 'extreme precautions' on holiday
Spain has been hit by a heatwave with the mercury hitting 32C in Seville this week and highs of 35C in Madrid and 31C in Barcelona. The UK has also been issued a yellow heat health warning Holidaymakers heading to Spain have been urged to take "extreme precautions" as the country swelters under blistering heat that will leave Brits reeling. Temperatures have soared to 32C in Seville this week, with Madrid hitting highs of 35C and Barcelona reaching 31C. Summer in Spain always sounds like a great idea, but with the temperatures reaching the 35C mark, holidaymakers wishing to spend a couple of days in the hot peninsula might want to be careful. Spain's State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), equivalent to Britain's Met Office, warned: "The danger of wildfires continues at very high or extreme levels in most of Spain, despite the likelihood of showers in many areas. We are at the most critical moment of the season. Take extreme precautions." In other travel news, it comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain. READ MORE: Beautiful seaside town in Devon that's so pretty it 'could be from a postcard' The country has issued a rare "red" emergency alert with the "maximum" threat facing UK tourists, reports Birmingham Live. AEMET posted on X: "11/08 11:36 Active warnings today and tomorrow in Spain for maximum temperatures, storms, rain, and suspended dust. Maximum warning level: red. This, combined with the high level of sunshine typical of summer, is causing temperatures to be higher than usual for this time of year, resulting in a heat wave." "[Today, Monday] temperatures are expected to rise further in the Ebro basin, the southern and eastern thirds of the Iberian Peninsula, and the eastern Cantabrian Sea. Temperatures will begin to fall in the northwest, most noticeably in Galicia." It continued: "Temperatures will therefore continue to reach 37-39C across the interior of the Iberian Peninsula, also extending to the Júcar and Segura regions and the interior of the Basque Country, where temperatures could even exceed 40C locally." "In the lower Guadalquivir, highs could reach over 42C, and although with low probability, this threshold could also be exceeded in the Ebro Valley and the northeastern depressions, where this day is expected to be the hottest of the episode." Meanwhile, a yellow heat health warning has been issued for the UK as most areas have seen the mercury soar past 30C. This is the fourth summer heatwave, with England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all experiencing blistering temperatures. A number of water companies were compelled to impose hosepipe bans for activities such as watering gardens, washing cars and filling paddling pools.

Met Office tells Brits to get emergency kit ready in 11 'danger to life' areas
The Met Office has issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for 11 areas and told people they might want to prepare an 'emergency' kit in case of flooding Brits in 11 areas have been told they might want to prepare an emergency kit as yellow weather warnings have been issued. The hot and summery weather that scorched parts of the nation from the start of this week has made way for showers and thunderstorms for some, which could cause major disruption in a few areas. Two yellow thunderstorm warnings have been issued by the Met Office for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. These alerts are expected to stay in place until 10pm tonight, while people in 11 areas have been told to prepare for possible power cuts, flooding and disruptions to travel. A yellow warning was issued for eight areas in the east of Scotland. These include Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Fife, and Dundee. Locals in this region have been told to keep safe on the roads as spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. They have also been warned that flooding of homes and businesses could happen quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds possible. Three areas in the east of Northern Ireland have also had a yellow thunderstorm warning issued - County Antrim, County Armagh and County Down. Those areas have been given the same flood warning. The Met Office said for all areas: "There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life." It added: "Where flooding occurs, there is a chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services." The Met Office warnings also suggest preparing an "emergency" flood kit with "torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items". This comes just a day after heat health alerts were issued across the nation. Yellow alerts are in place for Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the southeast and the southwest. The warning went into effect at 4pm on Wednesday and will remain in place until 6pm on Monday. The yellow alerts warn of a possible rise in fatalities "particularly among those ages 65 and over or with health conditions", the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed. This warning also said a greater demand could be placed on health services, internal temperatures in hospitals and care homes exceeding the "recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment".
