Cold temperatures typically cause blood vessels to constrict, a process known as vasoconstriction. This reaction helps to conserve heat and maintain body temperature by reducing blood flow to the skin's surface. As a result, extremities may feel colder, and the body prioritizes warmth for vital organs. In contrast, heat tends to cause vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels.
