Summer hasn’t even officially started yet, and the thermometer in most regions is already stubbornly creeping past thirty. And the fun part is still ahead — what’s happening now is just a light warm-up before the real scorching heat of July and August. So take care of yourselves and prepare in advance: I’ve put together products from AliExpress to survive the heat — from fans to cooling blankets.
We’ve gathered products for you that will help you survive the hot summer
Thermal Bottle for Hot and Cold Drinks
A great thermal bottle for any time of year
You know what the paradox is? In the heat, it’s not ice-cold water that saves you best, but hot tea — the body releases heat more actively, and you feel better. There’s just one problem: boiling water cools down instantly outdoors. But this ROCKBROS thermal mug keeps the temperature for up to 12 hours — pour hot tea in the morning, and by lunchtime it’s still scalding. The stainless steel thermal bottle doesn’t leak and doesn’t sweat. It keeps cold drinks cold too, by the way — your choice.

Wireless Mosquito Lamp
A mosquito lamp instantly solves the problem of uninvited guests
You can survive the stuffiness, but that thin whine right above your ear at the exact moment you’re falling asleep — that’s beyond the limit. That’s why a mosquito lamp now sits by my bed all summer long. The indoor mosquito lamp works quietly, without any chemicals or odors: turn it on at night — and in the morning, not a single bite, not a single sleepless hunt with a slipper in hand. It looks neat, doesn’t catch the eye, and barely gives off any light. Sleep has become noticeably more peaceful.

Cooling Pillow for Comfortable Sleep in the Heat
The pillow has a special texture that makes it great for sleeping at night
A regular pillow turns into a heater in summer — you flip it twenty times a night looking for the cool side. With this model, that nonsense doesn’t happen: the cooling sleep pillow stays cool on its own, without any refrigerator. You lie down — and the back of your head feels pleasant, not hot. It’s especially helpful on those nights when the fan can’t cope anymore, and morning is still far away. A simple thing, but sleep has noticeably improved.
Price: from 3,040 rubles
Portable Shower for the Countryside and Camping
A portable shower is useful for camping when you need to cool down
At the countryside house in the heat, you dream of one thing — splashing yourself with cool water, but a summer shower won’t serve everyone. If there even is one! A portable shower for the countryside and camping comes to the rescue: you dip the pump into a bucket or canister, turn it on — and you get a proper stream. It runs on a rechargeable battery and charges via USB. Freshen up after gardening, rinse your feet, or even wash the dog — all in a couple of minutes. Takes up about as much space as a fist, but the pleasure is immense.

Portable Air Conditioner Instead of a Split System
An air conditioner will make it easier to endure hot nights
If you never got around to installing a full-fledged home air conditioner, there’s a compromise — a portable model. You pour in water, toss in some ice if you want — and it blows genuinely cool air, not just shuffling the hot air around like a regular fan. Compact, quiet, runs on USB. Set it on a desk or by the bed — and within arm’s reach, you can finally breathe. It won’t replace a split system, but on the most sweltering days, it’s a real lifesaver.
