Rain, Wind & Cold
Fishermen, farmers, hunters, and many others who work and play in the outdoors often face uncomfortable wet and cold weather conditions. Unprotected exposure to rain and cold can:
Pose serious risks to your health
Impede your concentration
Distract you from enjoying your time outdoors
Although hypothermia is usually associated with extreme winter conditions, you should know that:
A form of hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit
Infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit Those who work or play outside for hours at a time are the most susceptible to hypothermia
Contact with water can bring hypothermia on even faster because water-cools your body temperature 25 to 30 times faster than air
If you are drenched from rain or perspiring heavily, you will lose body heat faster than you would under dry conditions.
