With temperatures forecast to soar to around 29C across parts of the UK, households are searching for affordable ways to stay cool. A sweltering Bank Holiday weekend is predicted, and many are looking for budget-friendly options that won't cause energy bills to skyrocket. Met Office forecasters anticipate the mercury could reach 29C in certain areas over the coming days.
For those staying indoors during the mini heatwave, retailers are offering a range of inexpensive cooling products. Home Bargains is stocking a wallet-friendly fan priced at less than £10, which the store claims can 'give you a refreshing breeze' during the warm snap. The Pifco Desktop 5W Air Cooler is on sale for only £9.99, available online or in-store at over 600 branches nationwide.
Home Bargains offers free postage on orders above £100, while UK mainland deliveries below this amount incur a £3.95 charge. Orders containing large furniture pieces attract a £10 delivery fee. A Home Bargains spokesperson said: 'Home Bargains provides free postage on all orders exceeding £100, while UK mainland deliveries falling short of this threshold incur a £3.95 charge at checkout. Should your order contain large furniture items, a £10 delivery fee applies.'
Designed for effective cooling, the Pifco Desktop 5W Air Cooler features two freezable water tanks and an easy-to-clean filter for hassle-free maintenance. It allows for adjustable airflow direction and transforms hot air into cool, refreshing moisture for optimal comfort. The spokesperson added: 'Simply plug into any USB port and enjoy a cooling breeze. With 8 colour modes, you can relax and cool down at any time of day.'
Its compact design means it can be effortlessly transported around the house, whether positioned on a desk, bedside table, or kitchen worktop during warmer spells. The straightforward USB power supply makes it simple to connect and disconnect whenever indoor temperatures become unbearable.

The store previously stocked the £1.99 PIFCO Cooling Mist Spray Fan, a battery-operated fan with an integrated 400ml water bottle engineered to create a gentle cooling mist as the blades rotate.
