Studies have shown that vessels constrict when temperature decreases, which may result in changes in brain perfusion. Some studies even suggest significant increase of strokes when temperature decreases by as little as 5 degrees. The dizziness experienced under these circumstances may be signs of insufficient blood perfusion.

A good way to prevent this is to dress in layers and refrain from sudden changes in temperature. Also, since thirst sometimes seem less frequent during cold weather, adequate fluid intake is especially recommended especially on dry days to improve vascular perfusion.
