Summer is fast approaching and due to the coronavirus outbreak, many of us have made the transition from a typical, corporate office environment to a hasty setup at home to keep us working, albeit remotely.

With warm weather on the horizon, you may find your home office is becoming now a stuffy, intolerable place to work effectively for long periods. Cameras, microphones, and monitors may be key in making sure you can carry on in your job outside of company grounds, but they can do nothing to regulate the temperature -- and few of us want to look hot and sweaty on our frequent Zoom and Microsoft Teams company calls.

To help, ZDNet has created a guide listing useful gadgets and accessories to keep you cool during the coming months, as well as products that can help stop your laptop or tower PC from overheating and disrupting your workday.

If you intend to spend a lot of time at your desk at home, working remotely and attending virtual meetings, you may want to consider a desk fan to take the edge of the heat.

The Ozeri Brezza III desk fan will not take up much space -- coming in at 14x10x14 inches -- and the dual oscillating motors will keep you cool with a minimum of noise. As a bonus, the fan comes with a remote control for users to select the flow and direction of cooling air they prefer, with four different speeds on offer.
