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. When you want a change of pace and are seeking a weird new way to work out those winter kinks, here’s an array of 17 strange sports that you do in the cold. Most require limited equipment and almost no training, just like all the best things in life. The Japanese competition of snowball fighting, Yukigassen, is a brutal game of dodgeball ramped up to be more than a little dangerous. You’ll need two teams of seven and a whole array of pre-made snowballs, as well as protective gear to keep your face and head from feeling the sting of the balls. Believe us when we say that you’ll be grateful for the padding when it’s all over. Certainly one of the more aggressive cold weather sports, it is also quite the intriguing experience. Urban Iditarod View in gallery via deseretnews.com If it is just one beer, it might not hurt you. In various studies, researchers have made people exercise until they’re hot and then compared their recovery when they drank beer with or without alcohol. In one 1985 study of people exercising in a warm, humid environment, as you might expect, the “peak urine output” occurred after the beer which is not good. It shows the body is losing rather than retaining liquid. But compared with alcohol-free or low-alcohol beer the difference was surprising small. Please, be careful engaging in these activities, as they can all be mortally hazardous. Ski Ballet View in gallery via bustle.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. Verdict: False – if the air outside is hotter than indoor. But at night opening the windows may give you some relief. 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 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. 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.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 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.

In the 1958 film Ice Cold in Alex, Sir John Mills’ character looks forward to escaping the desert and drinking an ice-cold beer. When he eventually arrives, he sits at the bar and is served a glass of lager. Downing it, he famously says: “Worth waiting for.” 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.But if that liquid is not replaced you soon become dehydrated – so some recommend avoiding hot drinks altogether. Some also argue that you shouldn’t have too much tea or coffee, as these contain dehydration-causing caffeine. However, there is little evidence that moderate amounts of caffeine act as a diuretic. 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. This 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

It is true that hospital admissions do rise during heatwaves and that many of these patients will be older.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.
