FRANCE'S HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD
From France to Poland to Seattle, records are falling in places that never planned for heat like this. 2024 was the hottest year on record, and June 2026 is already breaking all-time records across Europe. Your house, your laptop and your sleep weren't built for that.

This isn't a hunch, it's the instrument record. NASA, NOAA, Berkeley Earth and Copernicus each measured it separately and got the same line going up.
°C vs the 1951–1980 average · shaped on NASA GISTEMP v4. Measured against the pre-industrial (1850–1900) baseline, 2024 reached about +1.5°C, the first calendar year to touch the Paris 1.5°C marker.
You can't air-condition the planet.
You can cool the next 40°C afternoon.

Hands-free airflow that hangs off your collar. Rechargeable, three speeds, no blades near your hair.
Fan plus a fine water mist. Evaporative cooling you can carry to a bus stop or a queue in the sun.
Wet it, snap it, drape it. It stays cold for hours as the water evaporates, and it's the cheapest fix here.
A 'swamp cooler' that drops temperature in dry heat for a fraction of an AC's wattage. Best when humidity is low.
Quiet oscillating column with a remote and sleep timer. The workhorse for moving air through a home.
A real compressor AC for one sealed room when evaporative coolers can't keep up in humid heat.
Stops solar gain at the window before it becomes a hot room. Cheapest degrees-per-dollar you'll buy.
Bounces infrared back outside. Stick-on, renter-friendly, pays for itself across one summer.
Pulls body heat away through the night so you stop flipping the pillow at 3am during a heatwave.
Gel-infused, breathable foam that keeps the one spot that matters cool while you sleep.
Keeps fans and chargers running when heatwave demand strains the grid and the power blinks out.
Tops up neck fans, misters and your phone all day, off the grid.
Replaces the salts you sweat out before a headache sets in. Drop one in a bottle and go.
Ice water that's still ice water six hours later, even on a 40°C afternoon.
