Although we’re loving the rising UK temperatures, which seem to be here to stay, it does make the commute that little bit more uncomfortable than usual. Whether you’re completely WFH, hybrid or in the office full-time, there’s nothing worse than sitting on a sweltering hot train or bus with nothing to cool yourself down with.

And now many companies are enforcing more mandatory days in the office, the trains only seem to be getting busier. So to help you out, we’ve rounded up some cooling, necessary and most importantly, affordable, products to see you through commuting in the summer.

From breezy neck fans to hydrating face mists and durable water bottles, check out our pick of the best heatwave saviours for your commute.

Turbo fan available for £21.99 here, and neck fan available for £14.99 here

For me, a portable fan is a summer essential that I literally cannot go anywhere without. There’s nothing better than being able to smugly sit there with your fan and enjoy the cool breeze.

And if you want to go one step further, you can also get a wireless neck fan that frees up your hands and provides some cooling air down your neck, hairline and back.

Avene’s face mist has been formulated with Thermal Spring Water to nourish, soothe, and cool the skin with just a spray. And of course, its use is not exclusive to the face.

You can spray this anywhere you need some cooling down, on the train or bus, from your neck to your wrists.

Hilph Gel Ice Packs

Currently available for £9.99 here

These ice packs are technically for injuries, but if you’re stuck in sweltering 30-degree heat (we’re thinking the central line in peak summer), you’ll be so happy you packed these handy ice packs in your bag. Simply wrap these flexible gel packs around your wrist, and cool your body temperature right down.

And you can still have hands-free travel, as these gels come with an adjustable soft wrap to keep them in place.

A water bottle may seem like common sense, but you’d be surprised at how many people don’t bring one along. This ceramic one from Frank Green is perfect for warmer days as the triple wall vacuum will keep your water chilled all day long.
