Answer
Heat loss through evaporation and respiration
Heat loss in cold
Work Step by Step
Heat loss through evaporation and respiration increases in dry, windy weather conditions.
Wet clothing greatly increases heat loss through conduction and evaporation.
Heat loss in cold, wet weather increases the risk for hypothermia and cold injury. Heat loss can occur in warm temperatures through conduction. Swimming or sitting in cool or cold water can cause the body to lose heat very quickly and increase the risk for hypothermia.
