Hypothermia.
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
The rate at which a body loses heat in cold water depends on factors like water temperature, body size, clothing, and fitness levels. In general, the body loses heat much faster in water than in air because water conducts heat more efficiently, and cold water can lead to hypothermia quickly if exposed for an extended period without protection.
The rate at which the body loses heat in cold water depends on factors like water temperature, body composition, and level of physical activity. Generally, the body loses heat much faster in cold water compared to cold air, as water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air. Hypothermia can occur in cold water in as little as 15 minutes.

Dehydration
The human body loses heat through various processes such as respiration, evaporation of sweat, and radiation. On average, an adult human body loses around 50-80 watts of heat per day. However, this can vary depending on factors such as physical activity, environmental temperature, and individual metabolism.
Metabolic shock is when the body loses too much of its fluids.
Wet clothes can cause your body to lose heat significantly faster than dry clothes, primarily due to the increased heat transfer associated with evaporation. When clothing is wet, the body loses heat through the evaporation of water, which can increase heat loss by up to 25 times compared to dry clothing. This effect can lead to a rapid drop in body temperature in cold conditions, increasing the risk of hypothermia.
There are a great many things that gain and lose heat. Metals for example gain and lose heat much more quickly than gasses.
pyrometry utilise a electrical device called a pyrometer to measure the amount of heat-- light exuding from a body as a measure of heat/ radiated heat .
The three factors that affect how much heat an object absorbs or loses are the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings, the surface area of the object, and the type of material the object is made of.
