Snow makes everything more challenging, especially cold weather sports. The real players do it without the aid of a saddle, bit, or bridle to enhance the difficulty and give the animals more fun. Ice Cross Downhill View in gallery via youtube.com In general, it’s thought that fans might work when the temperature is up to 35C (95F). Above that (some studies say at 37C (98.6F) or higher), blowing hot air across the body could increase convective heat gain, worsening the situation and leading to heat exhaustion. So if it’s exceptionally hot, fans might even increase dehydration.

Fans are less effective when it’s humid. Although the air is still moved around, it’s already laden with moisture, making it harder for the sweat to evaporate.So, you’ve gotten yourself a pair of skis but hate the idea of hitting the hill along with every other snow bunny, waiting in long lift lines, and contending with inebriated souls who class drinking in the snow as one of the primary cold weather sports. Then it’s time to attach yourself to a horse, a motorcycle, a set of dogs, or anything else that moves to find the unbridled fun (read: stark terror) of being drug along like a water skier over the unforgiving ground. Make sure you add in some jumps for good measure. Yukigassen View in gallery via travelalberta.com A more recent study had similar findings. Although isotonic sports drinks and plain water were more effective at hydrating, beer was still more hydrating than expected. And a Spanish study involving 40 minutes on a treadmill found that water and beer both rehydrated them to the same extent. No one knows exactly why when we know that drinking beer tends to make people go to the loo. One hypothesis is that because the body is dehydrated and needs the fluid it retains more of the beer than it would other fluids.

But that doesn’t mean that only the elderly are at risk in a heatwave. Young babies and people with chronic health conditions are more likely to have issues aswell. So is anyone with mobility issues, simply because it’s harder to walk to the window to open it or to fetch drinks to replace the liquids lost through sweating. If it’s hot during the day and the night, it can be hard for the body to cool down at all. The European heatwave of 2003 is estimated to have killed at least 30,000 people; some figures put the total as high as 70,000. Of the 15,000 who died in France, 1,321 were under the age of 64. Fans are used widely. One case report even gives an example of three patients with heatstroke who were cooled down using the downdraft from a light helicopter. The amateur version of this is the polar bear contests held every year where grizzled old men tempt death by heart failure by leaping into the freezing water in their skivvies. However, for real cold weather sports enthusiasts, there is an upgraded version. All you need is insulated diving equipment and a desire to see sea life under the ice. Speed Flying AKA Blade Running View in gallery via infinitelegroom.com You should only open the windows if the air outside is cooler than the air inside, which is most likely to happen at night. In really hot weather, you should close the windows during the day. Because there’s more shade indoors the air might even be cooler. Even if you can get a breeze to flow through your home or office, if it’s a hot breeze it won’t cool you down and when the pollen count is high it could make hayfever worse. If you like a bit of speed in your cold weather sports, then ice sailing could be the winter endeavor for you. True, you’ll need to get a specialized boat for this. One that is mounted on skids that can move across the ice. Once you do, there’s no end to the enjoyment that can be had on a blustery day. It’s paddleboarding and windsurfing meets ice skating and a hell of a good time. Snow Polo View in gallery via israelandbeyond.me

But until randomised controlled trials are conducted, we can’t know for sure what effect a fan might have – and such trials are not easy to plan. Researchers would need to have everything ready to go as soon as a heatwave began. Even then, they might wait several years until the temperatures are just right. Verdict: False – if the air outside is hotter than indoor. But at night opening the windows may give you some relief. These were all small studies, though, and they weren’t looking specifically at body temperature, so we can’t prove that beer cools you down. But they do show that one or maybe two small beers can still hydrate rather than dehydrate you. So perhaps that single beer in Ice Cold in Alex was worth the wait.

Drinking plenty of liquid is the right thing to do during a heatwave: it’s essential to stay hydrated to protect the kidneys. But there is debate over whether that drink should be ice-cold or hot. What we do know is that fans aren’t always a foolproof solution. In a 1999 heatwave in Cincinnati, 17 people died – and 10 had fans which were switched on when the people were found dead. Of course, what we don’t know is if they would have died sooner without the fans, or if the reason these people had bought fans was that they lived in the hottest buildings. It is true that hospital admissions do rise during heatwaves and that many of these patients will be older. Please, be careful engaging in these activities, as they can all be mortally hazardous. Ski Ballet View in gallery via bustle.comThis is not one of the best cold weather sports for those faint of heart, a little bit of hang-gliding and parasailing coupled with careening down a hill. Anyone who fears heights, speed, danger, or embracing death by tree might want to give this a miss. Anyone else: get a parachute, get some skis, get a big hill, and get your will updated and notarized. Snowmobile Jumping View in gallery via desktopimages.org
