A mum has been praised online for sharing a hack to create a makeshift air-con unit at home using just two household items - as it could help to "save lives" amid the heatwave. Charlotte Russell went viral after posting the video earlier this summer, and as temperatures once again climb into the 30s many Brits will no doubt be looking for ways to keep cool.
The woman, who owns a candle and wax melt company from Leeds, discovered the trick after she tried multiple at-home remedies to help her stay cool during the last heatwave, which saw temperatures hit 40 degrees in some parts of the UK. And there are only two items you need to make the hack work for you too - a fan, and a frozen water bottle.
