Welcome to Keeping Cool Month 2023 on T3. As it’s July, we’re fully into the swing of summer and let’s face it, it’s hot, hot, HOT! While we’re definitely not complaining about the beautiful weather we’re having, the heat can get a bit much sometimes.

The scorching temperatures are (hopefully) going to stick around for the next couple months, and while enjoying the sun is a top priority, it’s important to stay safe in the heat. And that’s where our month-long topic of Keeping Cool comes in.

During Keeping Cool Month – which will be running from the 1st - 31st July – we’re going to be giving T3 readers advice, tips and tricks, reviews and expert guidance about staying safe and comfortable in the heat. There’s a lot of ground to cover, including which fan you should be using, how to keep your technology cool, what cool box you should take on your camping trip, and much more. Keep reading to find out what’s in store.
