Staying Cool in the Hot Weather: Simple Tips for Comfort & Productivity
Ireland isn’t exactly famous for scorching summers but when the temperatures rise, it can take us all by surprise. Warm days are wonderful for the park or the beach, but if you’re trying to get work done, study, or even just relax at home, the heat can make things uncomfortable fast.
Here’s how you can look after yourself and stay productive during warmer days and how Paperpunch can help.
- Keep the Air Moving with a Cooling Fan
When it’s warm, still air can make rooms feel much hotter than they actually are. A good fan doesn’t just move air around - it helps regulate the temperature in your space, making it more comfortable to work or relax.
At Paperpunch, we stock a range of desk fans, floor fans, and oscillating models perfect for offices, home workspaces, or classrooms. They’re easy to set up, energy-efficient, and a smart investment for those surprise warm spells we seem to be getting more often.
Tip: Position your fan near a shaded window to pull in cooler air from outside.
- Stay Hydrated - Always
Even mild dehydration can leave you feeling sluggish and less focused. In hot weather, you lose more fluids through sweat, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
We carry bottled water in bulk, ideal for offices or home offices, and a selection of cold beverages for those moments when you need an instant refresh. Keeping drinks within arm’s reach means you’re more likely to stay hydrated without interrupting your flow.
Tip: Keep a refillable bottle at your desk and top it up every hour.
- Create a Cooler Workspace
If you’re working from home or in the office, a few small changes can make a big difference:
- Close blinds during the hottest part of the day to block out direct sunlight.
- Use light-coloured surfaces and furniture to reflect heat instead of absorbing it.
- Take short breaks to stretch, hydrate, and cool down.
Paperpunch offers a full range of office furniture and accessories to create a workspace that’s not only productive but also comfortable year-round.
- Make the Most of the Sunshine - Safely
While the warm weather is here, enjoy it! Take lunch breaks outdoors, get some fresh air, and let natural light boost your mood - but always wear SPF and avoid the strongest midday sun if possible.
Stay Cool with Paperpunch
Whether you need a fan to keep your space fresh, cold drinks to stay energised, or water to keep everyone hydrated, we’ve got you covered.
