Vasodilation: opens the arteries to improve cooling of the central portion of the body, i.e., the extremities of the body become the reservoirs of cooler blood. Aiding in this process is sweat: evaporation of water creates a cooling effect on the skin, which aids the already dilated arteries to cool the blood from the extremities. The cooled blood returns to the core of the body, and mixes with warmer blood, thereby cooling your central core.

The opposite occurs in cool weather: vasoconstriction. In an effort to conserve heat, arteries constrict (and thus have cold hands) to keep warm blood at the central core, and minimize the amount of blood sent out that will be cooled by the environment. Furthermore, shivering causes warming of the muscles, and aids to keep warmer temperatures inside the body.

Why does heat flow from a hot to cold body?

Heat flows from hot to cold because when hot and cold bodies contact with each other (thermal contact), the fast moving molecules of the hot body collide with slow moving molecules of the cold body; therefore the molecules of hot body become slower and body becomes cool, and the molecules of other body (cold) becomes faster and the cold body becomes hot. Notice: when molecules of a body moves faster it's kinetic energy increase therefore temperature increases and it becomes hot.
