The UK is set to experience a heatwave over the next few weeks as temperatures are predicted to rise.

The Met Office is predicting the “hottest summer”, with up to five heat waves to be expected.

Forecasters said there is a “40 per cent chance” this summer “will be significantly hotter than average” with just a 10 per cent probability that temperatures will be cooler.

While this is great news for sun worshippers, many of us do not enjoy warm weather and spend these hot days just trying to cool down.

As summer inches closer, people have already begun stocking up on fans to prepare for the hot weather.

We’ve put together a list of some of the best desk and standing fans so you can keep your house nice and cool when the hot weather hits.
