The Filter’s bestsellers often tell a story. This month, it’s that, in this era of global heating, extreme weather in our summers is here to stay. Despite the hottest spring on record, the ferocity of June’s heatwaves seemed to take many of us by surprise, with much-needed fans going out of stock almost as soon as we’d published our group test.

Your desire for quiet tower fans and cold-brew coffee hints at sweaty, sleepless nights, followed by intense cravings for caffeinated cold drinks (or was that just me?). But also among your favourites were things that showed a sense of excitement about holidays, festivals and, more surprisingly, wildlife, with one-shouldered holiday swimsuits, wildlife-capturing cameras and the ideal festival handbag all capturing your attention this month.
