Turns out, the weather forecast wasn't lying when it said this summer would be a scorcher. We're not even to July yet, and temps are creeping into uncomfortable territory. As someone who grew up in mild Seattle weather, I don't love the heat. Case in point: I decided to travel to Finland last July to get some cool respite. Instead, I ended up in a 90+ degree heatwave happening in the Arctic Circle. Go figure. This year, I'm taking matters into my own hands.

I've been reporting on Prime Day sales for five years now, and since I'm always looking for ways to cool down, I feel qualified to share some of the best cool summer deals I've found at Amazon. You can find me chilling with these items until things simmer down again in September.

Keep in mind, you can always head to your local library for a cool place to relax if all else fails.

A high-velocity fan for quick cooling

If you're not blessed with air conditioning, the Dreo Tower Fan is a necessity to get through summer heat. It has eight fan speeds and four modes, including a setting for sleep that lowers the fan's noise all the way down to 20 decibels. When you need quick cooling power, the Dreo's 28 feet per second high-velocity power gives instant relief. Plus, the included remote control means you don't have to get up to change the settings.

An ice cream machine that churns out treats in 20 minutes

If you've been down the ice cream aisle lately, you know the good stuff is getting spendy. Take matters into your own hands this summer thanks to the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker which is on sale for only $54.10 during Prime Day, marked down from the normal price of $89.99.

Make 1.5 quarts of your favorite flavor of ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, or even gelato with the Cuisinart. Fair warning though, I made a batch for a family barbecue months ago, and now I'm required to bring ice cream to every family gathering. But as a bonus, that means I get to provide a dessert without turning my oven on to bake a cake.

Sheets that won't leave you sweaty

When the weather is too hot, sleep is one of the hardest elements to handle. Tossing and turning while feeling too warm is frustrating and uncomfortable. Each summer, I turn to my Brooklinen Percale sheets which are made with breathable cotton. These sheets have a 270 thread count, meaning they don't trap hot air against the skin. Plus, percale feels crisp and light.

As a special treat for Prime members, the queen-size Brooklinen sheet set in the abyss colorway is on sale for just $127.36 with the on-page coupon during Prime Day.

A trusted cooler that's travel friendly

Amazon has a true summer treat on offer during the second day of the sale with exceptional Yeti deals. It's hard to find a Yeti deal that feels like you're saving more than $20 or so but Prime Day is turning out to be a major exception. The Yeti Hopper M30 Portable Soft Cooler in navy is discounted all the way down to $227.50, which is a huge $122.50 off the normal price of $350.

The Yeti M30 Hopper is loaded with trustworthy Yeti features like a leakproof liner and comfortable shoulder straps that make it ideal for all kinds of adventures, from a quick trip to the local pool or a weekend at the campground. The M30 can hold up to 42 cans without ice, so capacity is no issue with this cooler.

We don't expect this rare deal to last long, so hop to it if you're interested.

Mashable's favorite water bottle

One of the easiest ways to help regulate body temperature is to stay hydrated. That sounds so easy, but it's challenging to actually do. However, our favorite water bottle, the Owala FreeSip, is on sale during Prime Day. Snag the excellent summer sweetness colorway for only $22.78. The looks and ease of chugging with this bottle serve as great motivation for staying hydrated this summer.
