THE UK’S sweltering summer is set to continue with more warm weather on the way.
And if you’re in need of a cool down, now is the time to splash out.

Some retailers have launched big summer sales and have slashed prices on swimming pools by up to 50%.
We’ve found pools from the likes of Wilko, Argos and B&M with prices starting at just £12.50.
But before you hit the buy button, be sure to check out delivery costs or click and collect charges.
Always shop around for the best deal in case you can get the same item cheaper elsewhere – and check out cashback and voucher code websites for discounts.
Factor in the cost of filling up your pool too, and check whether it requires any extra maintenance that might add to the price.
If you’re on a water meter, consider how much filling up a giant-sized pool could add to your bill.
Here are some of our favourites:
