Why are animals like frogs at greater risk of perishing on a windy hot day?

Frogs, like most amphibians and reptiles, are cold blooded, which means that their temperature goes up and down drastically based on their environment. If does get too hot or cold, then they have a higher risk of death because of this.
Because their temperatures are so easily changed, they can't keep their bodies cold enough. They would easily die on these days because their temperatures would drastically drop, therefore killing them. Frogs also need to be kept moist by absorbing water through their skin, so wind does not contribute to their survival because it has a tendency to dry them out.
