With the weather in the UK reaching highs of almost 40C, many are struggling to keep cool at home without air con. Even fans aren't seeming to do the trick, instead just blowing hot air back towards users.
To help shoppers stay cool while temperatures soar, Morrisons is offering free refills on drinks at their cafes today.
The offer came to fruition at over 400 cafes nationwide today, and means that customers can get unlimited milkshakes, slushes, cold juices and soft drinks following their initial purchase.

For those who are convinced that a hot drink cools you down better, there’s free refills available on all hot drinks too. As well as this, free tap water is also available and all of Morrisons cafes have air con, making them the perfect spot to take refuge from the heat.
The MEN reports that kids can also eat free in Morrisons cafes all day, with the purchase of any adult meal over £4.99. The children’s menu includes meals like fish fingers and chips, chicken nuggets, chips and peas, Mac N’ Cheese, bangers and mash and more.
Each of which is served with a piece of fruit and a drink, which will also of course be refilled completely free of charge. Morrisons has also introduced their £4.99 daily dinner specials - which offer savings of up to £3.89 on the individual product prices. A meaty and vegetarian option is available each day from 3pm - catering to all dietary requirements and needs. This special offer also qualifies for the free refill policy.
The cheap meals available today, July 19, include chicken tikka masala or Mac ‘n’ Cheese.
Ali Lyons, Head of Morrisons Cafes said: “We want to do as much as possible to keep the nation safe and hydrated during this heatwave. We are therefore offering all customers free refills to help out.”
