John Lewis’s £12 handheld fan is our go-to for beating the heat this summer

It’s a cost-effective way to keep cool - (Sabrina Sahota/The Independent)

With balmy temperatures just around the corner and longer days settling in, the shift in weather is definitely appreciated. Whether you’re soaking up the sun outside on your lunch break, reuniting with a sticky commute, or just trying to keep things cool at home, a good portable fan can make the warmer days a lot more comfortable.

Although it’s not full heatwave territory yet, that doesn’t mean it’s too early to be prepared. Sometimes loose linens, staying hydrated and ducking into shade just don’t cut it, so investing in a portable fan now will set you up for the summer, before they start to sell out.
