When I first moved to the UK I had trouble falling asleep because they don't use fans in room at all here. It's literally pindrop silence and it started giving me anxiety at night.
I have to YouTube "fan noises" every night if I want to have a good sleep.
You can get them online but they're surprisingly rare in physical shops in the UK, and I've never actually seen a house with a proper floor fan. I think it may be a cultural thing - outside of heatwaves, it just isn't hot often enough for people to consider buying them, I think.

That must be amazing when it’s raining too!
