The Sunniest Weekend Of The Year So Far On Its Way…

Quick, grab the barbecue before it changes its mind!

It’s June now, so I  think we can be forgiven for expecting a bit of sun. Yes I know we’re in Britain, but I want my summer.

After a couple of false starts (where it pretended it was summer to get us all in shorts and sandals and then rained heavily), it appears (in hushed tones) the British summer may actually be on the way.

Below is the weather report image for Saturday, with temperatures forecast to reach 26C in some areas:

So with temperatures predicted to be this high, it’s worth investing in some kind of air conditioning for you and your family. I personally hate trying to sleep when it’s this hot (and this is seriously hot for the UK!), so a wall-mounted fan with a remote can’t be a bad way to go:

Three speeds of operation are adjustable either from the fan itself or the remote control, and a timer feature means you can set the fan to turn itself off – ideal for those long, sticky summer nights. It even features a sleep mode that slows the fan’s speed while the timer counts down.
Having a wall-mounted fan provides the comfort of cooling along with the convenience of keeping the fan out of the way. Most other 16inch fans are pedestal types, which can get in the way or be knocked over. With a wall-mounted fan you have none of these worries.

If you’re looking for something more focused towards the office, get yourself a desk fan – a particular favourite of mine is the chrome retro fan:

This chrome fan not only looks cool (no pun intended) but it’s perfect for the office environment; it features a 12 inch fan head and three speed settings, allowing you to set it for maximum cooling or minimum sound.
An oscillation feature will gently move the fan head from side to side, providing cooling for a whole room, or if you’re just a little selfish, like me you’ll turn that off!

However you plan to keep yourself cool this weekend, make sure you enjoy yourself and keep safe in the high temperatures.
