15 best fans to help you survive the warm weather – and they’re up to 47% off for Amazon Prime Day
Cool me, PLEASE

Hi, I bet you’ve landed on this page because the current heatwave is melting off your makeup in seconds or stopping you from getting a wink of sleep. Am I correct? Yes. Whatever the reason, you’re now on the hunt for an effective fan – whether for your home or to take on the go – to cool you down in this sticky, hot weather.
How do we know which ones are the best? Well, you have me – a.k.a., one of the sweatiest writers around – to tell you. As someone who constantly overheats, and not only during heatwaves, I always have a fan nearby. I love keeping a portable gizmo in my bag to take on the tube, as well as an at-home gadget to cool down my bedroom.
Best fan deals to shop on Amazon...

Dusty Baxter-Wright is an award-winning journalist and the Entertainment and Lifestyle Director at Cosmopolitan, having previously worked at Sugarscape. She was named one of PPA’s 30 Under 30 for her work covering pop culture, careers, interiors and travel, and oversees the site’s Entertainment and Lifestyle strategy across print, digital and video.

You can find her on Twitter and Instagram here.

Daniella Scott is Senior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer at Cosmopolitan UK. As part of her role, Danny covers all things entertainment, from true crime to scandalous drama (if there’s a con involved, she’s probably already binged it) and celebrity interviews, including Nicola Coughlan. Danny’s also across lifestyle, travel, interiors and food and drink, in both digital and print. So when she’s not trawling Instagram for the next best Ikea hack, she’s trying out cocktail recipes or pretending she has a driving license researching the UK’s best road trips.
Lydia Venn is Cosmopolitan UK’s Senior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer. She covers everything from TV and film, to the latest celebrity news. She also writes across our work/life section regularly creating quizzes, covering exciting new food releases and sharing the latest interior must-haves.

After completing a degree in English at the University of Exeter, Lydia moved into fashion journalism, writing for the Daily Express, before working as Features Editor at The Tab, where she spoke on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and Talk Radio. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of Gilmore Girls and 00s teen movies, and in her free time can be found with a margarita in hand watching the Real Housewives on repeat. Find her on LinkedIn.
