Frosts down to -15C in Britain: how extreme cold affects health.
According to The Sun: Winter has truly arrived, and most of the UK woke up under a blanket of snow this morning.
The white covering has led to a sharp drop in temperatures to -15 °C, which will last until Tuesday.
Some experts say that in addition to the feeling of cold, cold weather can have other, more serious consequences.
Meteorologists from the Weather Service issued several yellow warnings for snow, ice, and fog across the UK, as temperatures are expected to continue dropping to -10 °C in the coming days.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advises people to check on vulnerable friends and family during the cold weather and ensure they have access to warm food and drinks.
This is because cold weather can exacerbate health issues for some people, especially if you're over 65 and already have underlying health problems.
One of the main health risks that can be triggered by the cold is 'winter vagina.'
Cold weather can also lead to serious conditions such as heart attacks or blood clots.
Winter has indeed arrived in Britain, where snow and low temperatures can have serious health implications for people, especially vulnerable groups. Meteorologists and health safety agencies advise caution and care to stay warm and safe during these cold days.Read also
