UK heatwave triggers price rises for hot tubs and air conditioning units
Of 11 seasonal items in Guardian price comparison, six hit highest price in last three months, with some nearly doubling in price in last week
The heatwave has triggered a surge in prices for seasonal items, with the cost of one inflatable hot tub nearly doubling in a week, while an industry expert said air conditioning units had risen by about 17% since April.
The Guardian looked at popular items across a range of websites and examined their prices on PriceRunner, an independent price comparison service. One of the biggest price increases was for the Bestway inflatable hot tub Lay-Z-Spa Cancún AirJet, which was available for £160 on 21 May but now retails for a minimum of £299.
