We're entering the 75th heatwave of summer 2025 here in the UK, and I'm really done with being kept up at night trying to cool myself down. My house is kitted out with some of the best fans around, but they're having a limited effect.
Today, I came across an article suggesting that I've in fact, been using my fan entirely wrong. Apparently, what I should have been doing is pointing it out of my room at night, rather than into it. Sounds counter-intuitive, to say the least, but after digging a bit further, it sounds like there's some solid science behind it.
