Beat the UK heatwaves with these ultra-cool home office finds

Are you ready for the sun? With temperatures rising across the UK, I’ve found the best gear to keep you cool and your home office heatwave-ready. If you’re looking to stay cool over the next few days and throughout Summer, this are the essentials I love.

For me, there’s nothing worse than trying to work in a hot and sweaty office – I can’t reach fast enough for my many, many standing fans and desk fans when temperatures start creeping up. And once it gets too warm, I just can’t help myself day-dreaming about wandering under that golden sun and blue skies (don’t tell the boss).

In this collection, I’ve looked beyond home office air conditioning units and Dreo’s smart oscillating fan. When you’re already too hot, all your devices only increase the heat inside your workspace, so I’ve picked out AC Infinity’s cooling fan for computers and devices (they’re a superb choice for a range of devices), and a classic cooling laptop stand.

If you use a leather or plastic desk mat, I definitely recommend switching that out for a natural cork one (bamboo also works well). I’m pairing this pad with the HyperX cooling gel wrist rest that I’ve been using for several years. I’ve also scouted Amazon for breathable office furniture and accessories that keep you comfortable even when the heatwave hits the high mark.
