Heatwaves are welcome on days off when we can bask in the park; less so when stuck in a stuffy office or tossing and turning at night.

The hottest day of the year so far saw Britain enjoy temperatures of just under 30ºC on Monday, with the sunshine set to stick around into July.

To help keep you feeling fresh as the mercury rises, we have compiled a list of the best fans available to buy now.

From smaller models suitable for desks or bedside tables to tower fans slim enough to slot into unused corners, our list will help you find your number one fan.

Oscillating pedestal fans are a good choice if you have a larger room to chill and floor fans can be tucked next to sofas to keep you cool while you catch up on Netflix.

If you’re concerned about compromising on style, there are plenty of looks and finishes to choose from – try Stadler Form’s bamboo offering or Daewoo’s copper model.

Be prepared to pay more for a bigger selection of power settings – Dyson's Hot & Cool Fan Heater boasts ten but costs £399 – as well as quiet modes.

Budget options abound, though – Aldi's retro tabletop favourite is back in stock this year and will set you back less than £25.
