Temperatures are expected to reach 35C across parts of England this week, leaving many households looking for affordable ways to stay cool without sending electricity bills soaring. While the hot weather may be short-lived, it could make homes uncomfortable and push up electricity bills as households turn to fans and other cooling devices.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued amber heat-health alerts for much of eastern England, warning that prolonged high temperatures could pose health risks, particularly for older people, young children, and those with underlying medical conditions.
