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.

A period of very cold winter weather that damages plants?

This is known as a frost or freeze event. These periods can cause damage to plants by freezing their tissues, leading to wilting or discoloration. Gardeners can take precautions, such as covering plants or bringing them indoors, to protect them from extreme cold temperatures.


Would you rather suffer extreme cold or extreme heat?

I would rather suffer extreme cold, as it is generally easier to layer clothing and find ways to warm up. Extreme heat can be more challenging to find relief from and can have more severe health risks.


Difference between extreme and moderate climate?

Extreme climates experience more severe and prolonged weather conditions like extreme heat, cold, or precipitation, whereas moderate climates have more consistent and milder weather patterns throughout the year. Extreme climates can lead to harsh living conditions and challenges for agriculture and wildlife, while moderate climates offer more predictable and comfortable environments.


Which type of fronts cause violent weather?

Cold fronts are most commonly associated with violent weather, such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes tornadoes. When a cold front meets warm, moist air, it can create instability in the atmosphere leading to intense weather conditions.


Can you store glass in cold weather?

Yes, glass can be stored in cold weather as long as it is not exposed to sudden temperature changes, such as going from extreme cold to extreme heat. It is best to gradually warm up glass items to room temperature before using them to prevent cracking or breaking.
