Air conditioners and electric fans are reportedly running low across the UK as retailers race to replenish stock ahead of another forecast heatwave. Currys said supplies of cooling products are now 'pretty tight' after demand surged during England's record June temperatures, with shoppers snapping up fans and portable air conditioning units at an unprecedented pace.
The warning comes after the latest spell of hot weather triggered a sharp spike in demand for cooling appliances, leaving retailers scrambling to secure fresh stock before temperatures are expected to climb again next week.
