Effects of wind and rain on thermal responses of humans in a mildly cold environment. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study examined how wind and rain affect heat loss in minimally clothed humans in a mildly cold environment, focusing on seven young male subjects resting in shorts at 15 degrees Celsius.
  • - Subjects experienced three conditions: no wind or rain, wind only, and wind with rain, with results showing that heat loss and metabolic heat production were significantly higher in the wind and rain condition.
  • - Findings indicate that exposure to wind and rain dramatically increases peripheral heat loss and decreases skin temperature over a short duration, highlighting the combined impact of these weather elements on thermal regulation.

Article Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to clarify the effects of wind and rain on peripheral heat loss by non-exercising minimally clothed humans in a mildly cold environment. Seven healthy young male subjects wearing only shorts rested in a standing position for 20 min at an ambient temperature of 15 degrees C under three conditions: without exposure to wind or rain (CON), with exposure to wind (3 m/s) (WIND) and with exposure to wind (3 m/s) and rain (40 mm/h) (WIND + RAIN). Mean heat loss measured using a heat flux transducer was significantly greater in the subjects exposed to WIND + RAIN compared to those exposed to CON and WIND conditions (p < 0.01). Metabolic heat production was significantly greater under WIND + RAIN than under CON and WIND (p < 0.01). Decrease in heat storage was significantly larger at WIND + RAIN compared with CON and WIND (p < 0.01). Mean skin temperature was significantly lower under WIND + RAIN than under CON and WIND conditions (p < 0.01). These results indicate that peripheral heat loss significantly increases when humans are exposed to wind and rain for a short period (20 min) under a mildly cold condition.
