Some people prefer activities and lifestyles in hot climates while others prefer living in cold climates.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Many people enjoy living in hotter climates while others are more inclined to a cold weather lifestyle. In my opinion, although the latter can engender greater productivity, it is better to live in a warm climate for the mental and physical health benefits.

Those with an inclination towards cold weather argue it is a catalyst for work. Individuals living in colder places typically spend more time indoors and less time socializing or being active outside. This naturally gives them the opportunity to get more work or study done. The best evidence for this is the achievements made in nations with colder average temperatures. The countries in Northern Europe, for instance, typically have higher per capita earning figures and make more significant contributions in terms of innovations and economic production. One explanation for this is that a person living in a harsh climate is simply less likely to be distracted by activities outside the home.

I would argue, however, that warm weather encourages a more physically active and cheerful disposition. The goal of life is not simply to be productive but also enjoy one’s life. Returning to the European example, although the more northern countries have stronger economies, the southern locations report higher levels of happiness and satisfaction. This is because individuals can go outside and play sports, visit beaches, and socialize more frequently. The benefits for physical health also extend to mental health. People in warmer climates, such as those from Southern California, are generally more upbeat, positive, and outgoing. Leading an active, enjoyable life is more important than being in the optimal situation to maximize productivity.

In conclusion, despite the advantages of cold weather for individual productivity, the best lifestyles are generally enjoyed in warmer climates. All other factors being equal, residents should seek to live and raise a family in hotter locales.

Brief on Winter Season

The winter season starts at around November and goes on till February. The winter season happens because of the inclination of the Northern hemisphere away from the sun. Hence, because of this, the sun rays have to travel greater distance to reach Earth. It is truly a magical season when the weather gets colder and the mercury drops, people take out their winter clothes, light fireplaces and enjoy hot chocolate around it. The vegetables in the winter season are much more fresh and taste better. People enjoy the warm rays of sun.

Essay on Winter Season (200 Words)

Winter season, a period of chilly weather and tranquillity, arrives in December and departs with the onset of spring. December and January stand out as the coldest months of this season, encompassing regions with freezing temperatures. The air becomes crisp, and the trees shed their leaves, preparing for renewal.

In the northern regions, a layer of white snow blankets the landscape, creating a picturesque scenery akin to a winter wonderland. Hilly regions, in particular, are transformed into breathtaking vistas that resemble something out of a fairy tale. As the winter sun graces us with its gentle warmth, the world seems to hibernate in preparation for the blossoming of spring.

Despite the harshness of winter, there’s a sense of cosiness that comes with this season. Warm woollen clothes, cups of hot cocoa, and crackling fires create a comforting atmosphere. It’s a time when families gather around, sharing stories and creating cherished memories.

The winter season, spanning from December to March, holds a unique place in the cycle of seasons. It marks a period of transformation in nature as well as in our lives. The cold winds sweep through the land, carrying with them a sense of crispness and a promise of renewal.

December and January stand out as the heart of winter, where temperatures plummet, especially in the northern regions. During these months, the landscape dons a white coat of snow, rendering an ethereal charm to the surroundings. Hilly areas are particularly enchanting, resembling a scene straight out of a postcard.

However, winter is not just about cold weather; it’s about embracing the spirit of the season. It’s a time when communities come together to celebrate festivities, share warmth, and spread joy. The festive lights, the aroma of freshly baked goods, and the sound of laughter resonate through the air, creating a sense of togetherness.

In this season, people don layers of cosy clothing, relish hearty meals, and indulge in activities like skiing and building snowmen. Schools close for winter vacations, providing children with the opportunity to engage in snowball fights, sledging, and other outdoor adventures.

While winter might be associated with challenges such as frosty roads and icy surfaces, it also offers the gift of reflection and rejuvenation. The shorter days encourage us to slow down, cosy up with a good book, and spend quality time with loved ones. It’s a time when the world seems to pause, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of stillness.

In conclusion, the winter season brings a unique charm that captivates both the senses and the soul. It’s a reminder that even in the coldest of times, warmth can be found in the company of loved ones and in the small moments that make life beautiful.

Essay on Winter Season (500 Words)

Winter, the season of transformation and introspection, graces us with its presence from December to March. As the world around us undergoes a metamorphosis, we, too, experience the subtle changes that this season brings. The chill in the air, the warmth of companionship, and the promise of renewal – winter encompasses all of this and more.

The heart of winter lies in the months of December and January when temperatures plummet to their lowest. The northern regions experience a sharp drop in temperature, often reaching as low as 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. During this time, the landscape is covered in a blanket of snow, turning ordinary scenes into captivating vistas. Hilly areas, in particular, exude an otherworldly charm as they don a white coat of snow that glistens in the sunlight.

While winter might be associated with frosty mornings and icy roads, it also brings forth a sense of unity and celebration. Festive lights illuminate the streets, and the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air. Families and friends come together to celebrate holidays, exchange gifts, and share hearty meals. The spirit of giving and togetherness warms even the coldest of hearts.

The winter season has a unique way of encouraging us to slow down and appreciate the smaller things in life. As the days become shorter, they prompt us to seek comfort in the company of loved ones, wrap ourselves in cosy blankets, and indulge in the simple pleasure of a warm beverage. It’s a time when the world seems to pause, allowing us to reflect on the year gone by and set intentions for the year ahead.

Beyond the festivities, winter also offers opportunities for outdoor activities that are unique to this season. Skiing, ice skating, and building snowmen are not just recreational pursuits but a way to connect with the enchanting winter landscape. Schools close for winter vacations, giving children the chance to engage in snowball fights, sledging, and making snow angels.

However, it’s important to remember that winter isn’t just about the external changes; it’s also about the changes within ourselves. The season encourages introspection and self-care. Just as trees shed their leaves, we can let go of what no longer serves us, paving the way for personal growth. The stillness of winter allows us to dive deep within and explore our inner landscapes.

In conclusion, the winter season is a symphony of contrasts – the cold and the warmth, the stillness and the celebrations. It’s a reminder that life is a cycle, and every season has its own beauty and significance. As we marvel at the snowy landscapes and savour the moments of togetherness, let us also take a moment to appreciate the transformative power of winter in our lives.

Summer and Winter Essay

There are different seasons in the world and each has got its significance as well as particular characteristics that make it unique. In most cases, there are four main seasons in a year which are inclusive of winter, summer, spring and autumn. Since all seasons are different in various ways, this essay shall describe winter and summer being two seasons which are marked by the extreme weather conditions.

Due to the weather conditions, life is quite different as there are certain activities and aspects that characterize each season. Bent on that, this essay shall give a description of life in winter and in summer focusing more on not only the activities but also on weather and clothing.

Summer is a season that is marked by the relatively high temperatures. Days in summer are usually longer than the nights because the sun always rises up early. Consequently, people wake up earlier, work for long hours and end up accomplishing much. Due to the hot weather, people have to put on light clothes as they cannot make it to be on heavy clothing.

Generally, life is more enjoyable in summer and people are more energetic to perform their daily activities. However, such kind of a life is not enjoyed in the countries that lie near the tropics since temperatures are extremely hot in such places. Working indoors and outdoors is no different as it is quite uncomfortable in both cases.

For instance, working indoors requires the help of air conditioners while working outdoor is also very problematic because people have an added responsibility of protecting their skins from the hot temperatures which are quite hazardous (Advantages and disadvantages of cold weather).

Winter as highlighted in the introductory part is a season marked with cold temperatures as well as by short days and long nights. Although the term is rather subjective, its beginning is marked by winter solstice which takes place exactly on the longest night as well as the shortest day in each year. Due to the cold and chilly weather, people as well as animals are very inactive and hence the reason why most animals hibernate as they are not able to continue with their daily lives due to the cold weather.

Plant life is also affected since most plants cannot thrive in extremely cold temperatures. People have to put on very heavy clothing to generate and maintain warmth. Activities that people engage in are also meant to generate heat. However, there is also some fun since the season gives people a chance to engage in wonderful activities like skiing and children enjoy playing with snow and making snow balls.

In conclusion, it is important to mention that winter and summer are all important seasons in each year as they have different impact in the life of individuals. Although both terms are subjective, they do take place interchangeably such that when it is winter at the northern hemisphere, it is summer at the southern hemisphere.

Both seasons are marked by different weather conditions which in turn determine several aspects like activities and the clothing that people wear in each. Temperatures in each season determine the type of activities, clothing and even food.

The study has indicated that since winter is marked by low temperatures, people wear warm clothing, take foods that help to generate warmth and take part in activities that help to generate warmth. In summer, people wear very light clothing since the temperature is a bit high and have to take a lot of fluids to replace lost fluids. Both seasons have got advantages and disadvantages and hence none is superior to the other.

During winters, schools usually take a break and close down. The days are shorter and the nights get longer. The chilly mornings give you a different sense altogether. Hot drinks like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are enjoyed more during winters. The sun rises quite late and sometimes it does not.

Even when it does, it doesn’t get a bit hot. People long for a little sunshine as the cold weather sends chills down the spine. You see people on the roads burning woods and paper to get a little warmth. However, not many people prefer going out in winters. They like sitting by the fireplace or heater all day.

In the hilly areas, people experience snow during winters. They have to shovel it out of the way to make way for walking. The essence of winters is enhanced by Christmas as well. It sets the holiday mood for people and is admired all over the world.

But, there is also a downside of this season. The farmers, homeless people, and animals are most affected by this season. There is hardly any business in this season for farmers. Hundreds of homeless people die due to the harsh winters.

As the animals do not have proper shelter, they too lose their lives. In addition, many flights are also canceled during this season. Nonetheless, this does not make winter any less important. It is quite essential to maintain balance in the weather of our country.

Why I Love Winter?

I personally love winters. This season brings a lot of healthy fruits and vegetables. People get the chance to eat fresh grapes, apples, carrots, cauliflower, guava and more. Furthermore, so many beautiful flowers bloom during this season. These flowers include roses, dahlias and more. This makes winter even more beautiful than it already is.

Other than that, no lizards are to be found as they go in hibernation. This makes me very happy and lets me live fearlessly. Most importantly, winter mornings are the best part of this season for me. I like getting up early in winters and witnessing the morning dew on flowers. There is a different vibe altogether that comes with winters.

Also, our school organizes bonfire which is one of the most awaited events of the year.

In short, winter is as important as any other season. Sure, it may have its negative sides and positive sides, but that happens with every season. Winters helps you enjoy long morning walks and fresh air.

Essay on Weather

Students are often asked to write an essay on Weather in their schools and colleges. And if you’re also looking for the same, we have created 100-word, 250-word, and 500-word essays on the topic.

Let’s take a look…

100 Words Essay on Weather

Introduction.

Weather is the day-to-day condition of our atmosphere. It includes factors like temperature, humidity, wind, and rainfall.

Types of Weather

Weather varies greatly around the world. It can be sunny, rainy, snowy, or windy. Each type of weather has its own features and effects.

Importance of Weather

Weather is important for many reasons. It affects our daily activities, health, and agriculture. We need to understand and predict it for safety and planning.

In conclusion, weather plays a significant role in our lives. It is a fascinating and complex natural phenomenon.

250 Words Essay on Weather

Weather is an integral part of our daily lives, influencing our activities, moods, and overall wellbeing. It is the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, characterized by parameters like temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and atmospheric pressure.

The Science of Weather

The science behind weather, meteorology, is a complex discipline that studies atmospheric phenomena. The sun plays a crucial role in weather formation, as it heats the Earth’s surface unevenly, creating temperature differences. These temperature variations lead to air movements that we perceive as wind. Furthermore, the Earth’s rotation and topography also contribute to the intricacy of weather patterns.

Weather and Climate

It’s essential to distinguish between weather and climate. While weather describes short-term atmospheric conditions, climate represents the average weather conditions over a longer period, typically 30 years. This distinction is vital in understanding global issues like climate change, which refers to long-term shifts in climate patterns, rather than daily weather fluctuations.

Weather Forecasting

Weather forecasting, a practical application of meteorology, has evolved significantly over the years. Today, meteorologists use sophisticated technology like satellites, radars, and computer models to predict weather patterns. These forecasts are not only crucial for daily planning but also for mitigating potential disasters.

In conclusion, weather is a dynamic and complex system that impacts our lives in myriad ways. Understanding its mechanisms and implications helps us not only in our daily lives but also in addressing broader environmental issues. As we advance technologically, our ability to predict and respond to weather changes will continue to improve.

500 Words Essay on Weather

Weather is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that influences every aspect of our lives. It is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, characterized by parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and atmospheric pressure. The study of weather, known as meteorology, is a crucial branch of Earth sciences, providing essential insights into our planet’s climatic patterns and their impact on the environment and human societies.

The Science Behind Weather

Weather results from the Earth’s atmosphere’s thermodynamic processes, primarily driven by the sun’s energy. The sun heats the Earth unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to air movement, or wind. The Earth’s rotation, known as the Coriolis effect, further influences this wind, causing it to curve, which contributes to the formation of weather patterns.

Water vapor, a key player in weather formation, can condense into clouds, leading to precipitation when the particles become too large to remain airborne. The interaction of these factors, along with topographical features like mountains and bodies of water, result in the diverse weather phenomena we experience.

Weather forecasting, an application of meteorology, has seen significant advancements over the years. It involves predicting atmospheric conditions at a future time and location. Modern meteorologists use sophisticated equipment like weather satellites, radars, and supercomputers to generate accurate forecasts. These predictions are not only critical for daily planning but also for preventing disasters, aiding agriculture, and informing policy decisions related to climate change.

Impact of Weather on Human Life

Weather significantly influences human activities and well-being. Favorable weather conditions are essential for agriculture, as crops require specific temperature and rainfall patterns to thrive. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, can cause immense destruction and loss of life.

Moreover, weather plays a pivotal role in our health. Cold weather can exacerbate conditions like arthritis, while heatwaves can lead to heat stroke. Seasonal changes also affect mental health, with conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder being linked to weather patterns.

Climate Change and Weather

The ongoing climate change, largely driven by human activities, is altering global weather patterns. Rising temperatures are expected to intensify extreme weather events, making hurricanes more powerful and heatwaves more frequent. This underscores the urgent need for effective climate policies to mitigate these changes and adapt to a warmer world.

That’s it! I hope the essay helped you.

Master List for Describing Weather

A lot of writers struggle with describing settings. I’ve written before about how to describe settings and why it matters , but a few people have told me they’d like me to do some of my master lists for writers to help them out!

I have a weird love for creating lists like this, so I’m happy to do it. “How to describe weather” seemed like a good place to start. This way, you won’t get stuck trying to figure out how to describe nice weather, or thinking up ways to describe rain. Hopefully, this will make your writing go faster.

I always include simple as well as more creative ways to describe or write about weather. Sometimes, the simple word is the one you want! I included dryness and humidity in a few of the categories because it felt weird for them to get their own.

As always, this is not a comprehensive list, and I might add to it. My list will probably make you think of other possibilities, too. Bookmark or pin it for future writing reference!

Narrative-Something in your life you experienced that change

101 Words To Describe Weather

Writers know that using the weather in their descriptions is a great way to make stories more relatable. Use this comprehensive list of words that describe weather when you write.

Writers Write is a resource for writers and we have written about words that describe taste , smell , sound , and touch in previous posts. (We even have one for words that describe colours .) In this post, I have included words that describe weather.

Weather is a wonderful tool for writers. We can use it to foreshadow , create a mood , complicate a plot , show a character , and increase or decrease the pace of a story. We can even use it as a motif .

A setting without the weather is like a character without a wardrobe.

Remember that we need to describe weather through our characters’ interactions with their environments. We should not describe it like a weather report. You could show how cold it is by the clothes they choose to wear or mention the weather in dialogue.

Whatever you do, don’t leave it out. There are unintended consequences to a lack of setting , including a static character, a lack of atmosphere, an inability for the reader to relate to the place and time in the story, and a lack of details.

Feature image of Short Essay on Winter Season

According to the cycle of seasons, winter arrives at the end of the year and continues till the first two months of the new year. This season is associated with a harsh climate, extreme cold weather conditions, snowfall, drizzle, and disasters like landslides. The mountains and hilly regions in different parts of the world experience immense cold.

Regular snowfall occurs in Northern India as well as several parts of Asia and Europe. During this season, Human beings try to stay indoors. Many fall ill due to this cold. However, winter is not just a passive state but also a time of festivals. Christmas and New year are the two biggest celebrations in winter. Cakes and sweets are distributed at different places. Winter is a time when we can enjoy the warmth of tea and family.

The cycle of seasons moves in a circular motion throughout the year. Almost at the end of the year, after the autumn, the earth’s revolution takes the Northern hemisphere away from the Sun. So the Northern hemisphere receives little sunrise and grows cold. During that time winter arrives on the earth. Simultaneously summer arrives in the Southern hemisphere of the earth.

Winter is associated with harsh and tough weather conditions. It is terrific to easily get accustomed to the winter season. Excessive snowfall takes place in the mountains and hilly regions and the temperature falls below the freezing point. Even on plain lands like Kolkata, the winter is quite sickening. Continuous snowfall and drizzle cause landslides in hilly regions. Winters are often unfavourable for tourism in hilly regions. However coastal places can be beautiful.

The most important characteristic of winter is many animals hibernate. Birds from the end of autumn start migrating toward warmer places. Insects also gather food and hibernate during this time. Yet this is a festive season for Christmas and New year. The whole world rejoices during this time. Cakes, sweets, and gifts are shared with people. Even in the face of severe disturbances, people still get their own opportunities to celebrate the winter season.

Earth has its own ways of creating life forms and nonliving creatures. It flows in its own rhythm and is a cycle that controls the birth and death of even the smallest of all beings. The cycle of seasons falls into the natural flow where one season automatically accompanies the other. Summer, winter, spring, and autumn are the four major seasons on earth. They create a chain or system where the end of the death of a year happens through winter and rebirth takes place through spring.

Winter is a symbol of the dead and old. The trees are bare without any leaves, the plants and flowers do not bloom, and animals and insects hibernate while birds leave their nests and migrate to warmer continents. The environment becomes white with snow and fog and human beings prefer to reside within their houses. Winter is essentially the death of life on earth.

From a geographical point of view, winter can be best understood through the mountainous and hilly regions. The altitude of those places causes extreme cold temperatures which are unbearable. Snowfall, landslides, drizzles, and snowstorms are common weather conditions in these regions. Many human lives get at stake due to this harsh weather. Thus winter is not at all romantic to enjoy with hot tea. Even on plain lands like Kolkata winter below 10 degrees Celsius becomes quite unbearable. Only the southern part of India which is the coast enjoys pleasurable weather conditions.

The winter season, however, is not entirely a dangerous situation. People honestly wait for this time so that the old year can end and the New year can arrive with new hopes and happiness. Winter in the seasonal cycle marks the end of all that is bad and unrequired. The two biggest celebrations of the winter season are Christmas and New year.

The entire world gets into the mood of vacation with the start of Christmas. Jesus, the saviour of the world was born during this harsh weather as if to give the world warmth of his virtue. People bake cakes, prepare sweets, and share goodwill and gifts with others.

While the year ends in rebirth, in Bengal the arrival of winter is celebrated through the worship of nature and its fruits. Poush Parbon is famous in different parts of Bengal where the women prepare several delicacies of sweets such as assorted pitha and payesh. Although the winter is a moment of cold and sickness the festivals make it full of life. It is one of the reasons why people await winter.

Weather is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It can have a huge impact on our mood, our health, and even our ability to function properly during the day. That’s why it’s so important to understand the different types of weather and how they can affect us.

Types of Weather

There are four main types of weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowy. Each type of weather has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

Sunny: Sunny weather is great for outdoor activities and spending time in the sun. However, it can also be very hot and dry, which can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions.

Cloudy: Cloudy weather is cooler than sunny weather, but it can also be more humid. This type of weather is good for people who don’t like the heat but don’t want to deal with the cold.

Rainy: Rainy weather is perfect for activities that involve water, such as swimming or fishing. However, it can also be very muddy and wet, which can make it difficult to get around.

Snowy: Snowy weather is great for winter activities like skiing and sledding. However, it can also be very cold and dangerous for people who are not used to the cold weather.

Weather vs Climate:

Weather is the day-to-day condition of the atmosphere in a particular place, while climate is the average weather conditions in that place over a long period of time. Climate varies from place to place around the world. The climate in a tropical rainforest is very different from the climate in a desert.

Importance of Climate

Climate is important because it determines the types of plants and animals that can live in a particular place. For example, tropical rainforests have a very different climate from deserts. This means that different types of plants and animals can live in each environment.

Changes in Climate:

Climate change is a long-term shift in the average conditions of the atmosphere over a large area. Climate change could refer to a particular location or the planet as a whole. Climate change has been happening for millions of years, but it is only recently that humans have begun to impact the climate on a global scale.

Steps that we can take to Promote Healthy Weather

There are many things we can do to help promote healthy weather. Some of these steps include:

1. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by using less energy and switching to renewable sources of energy 2. Protecting and restoring forests, which play a vital role in regulating the climate 3. Improving agricultural practices to reduce methane emissions from livestock 4. Conserving water to reduce the amount of energy needed to pump and treat it

Weather is an important part of our lives and can have a big impact on our mood, health, and ability to function properly. There are four main types of weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowy.

Short Essay on Weather For Students:

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place. It includes various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and air pressure. Weather plays an important role in our daily lives as it affects our activities and influences our mood.

Importance of Weather

Weather has a significant impact on human life. It affects agriculture, transportation, tourism, health, and even the economy. Farmers rely on weather conditions for their crops to grow while tourists plan their trips based on favorable weather conditions. Weather also has an effect on mental health as certain weather patterns can lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Factors Affecting Weather

The main factors that influence the weather are latitude, altitude, topography, and global air circulation patterns. Latitude determines the amount of sunlight received, while altitude affects temperature and precipitation. The shape of the land and presence of water bodies can also affect weather patterns.

Weather conditions can vary greatly depending on geographical location and time of year. Some common types of weather include sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy, hot, cold, and humid.

Sunny Weather

Sunny weather is characterized by clear skies with abundant sunshine. It usually occurs when high pressure systems dominate the area.

Cloudy Weather

Cloudy weather refers to a condition where the sky is covered with clouds blocking out the sun’s rays. This type of weather often occurs during low-pressure systems.

Rainy Weather

Rainy weather is characterized by precipitation in the form of rain. It can be caused by warm air rising and condensing into water droplets, which then fall to the ground.

Snowy Weather

Snowy weather occurs when temperatures are low enough for precipitation to freeze and fall as snow. This type of weather often brings hazardous driving conditions and can lead to school or work closures.

Windy Weather

Windy weather refers to a condition where there is a strong movement of air. It can be caused by differences in air pressure between two areas or by geographical features such as mountains.

Hot Weather

Hot weather is characterized by high temperatures and humidity levels. It can cause heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke and dehydration if precautions are not taken.

Cold Weather

Cold weather is characterized by low temperatures and can bring about freezing conditions, which can be dangerous for both humans and animals.

Humid Weather

Humid weather refers to a condition where there is a high level of water vapor in the air. It can make hot or cold temperatures feel even more extreme and uncomfortable.

Weather affects our lives in many ways, from influencing our daily activities to shaping our emotions. Understanding the different types of weather and the factors that influence them can help us better prepare for any changes in the forecast. As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, it becomes even more important to pay attention to the weather and take necessary precautions to protect ourselves and our environment.

Let it snow: 6 of the best descriptions of winter weather in literature.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful! But the reading is so delightful… Weather (sorry) or not you love the snow—blanketing your driveway, stalling your subway lines—it’s hard to deny that there have been some pretty darn good descriptions of it in literature, the kind that make you want to curl up by the fire (or, in my case, the space heater). Personally, I think I like winter weather best when it’s on the page and not the thing standing between me and the closest bar or the corner bodega when I’m out of popcorn. In an attempt to reframe the cold months ahead for myself, I have assembled some of the most beautiful/relatable descriptions of snow I could find in fiction. Perhaps now I will think of it as one of these instead of being irrationally irritated by Mother Nature’s cruel attempts to curb my snacking and my social life. So, here we go: let it snow! Sit down with these delightfully icy passages, and keep the hot cocoa coming.

From Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina :

At first she was unable to read. To begin with she was bothered by the bustle and movement; then, when the train started moving, she could not help listening to the noises; then the snow that beat against the left-hand window and stuck to the glass, and the sight of the conductor passing by, all bundled up and covered with snow on one side, and the talk about the terrible blizzard outside, distracted her attention. Further on it was all the same; the same jolting and knocking, the same snow on the window, the same quick transitions from steaming heat to cold and back to heat, the same flashing of the same faces in the semi-darkness, and the same voices, and Anna began to read and understand what she was reading.

From Italo Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler :

So here I am walking along this empty surface that is the world. There is a wind grazing the ground, dragging with flurries of fine snow the last residue of the vanished world: a bunch of ripe grapes which seems just picked from the vine, an infant’s woolen bootee, a well-oiled hinge, a page that seems torn from a novel written in Spanish, with a woman’s name: Amaranta. Was it a few seconds ago that everything ceased to exist, or many centuries? I’ve already lost any sense of time.

From Ali Smith’s Winter :

And here instead’s another version of what was happening that morning, as if from a novel in which Sophia is the kind of character she’d choose to be, prefer to be, a character in a much more classic sort of story, perfectly honed and comforting, about how sombre yet bright the major-symphony of winter is and how beautiful everything looks under a high frost, how every grassblade is enhanced and silvered into individual beauty by it, how even the dull tarmac of the roads, the paving under our feet, shines when the weather’s been cold enough and how something at the heart of us, at the heart of all our cold and frozen states, melts when we encounter a time of peace on earth, goodwill to all men; a story in which there is no room for severed heads; a work in which Sophia’s perfectly honed minor-symphony modesty and narrative decorum complement the story she’s in with the right kind of quiet wisdom-from-experience ageing-female status, making it a story that’s thoughtful, dignified, conventional in structure thank God, the kind of quality literary fiction where the slow drift of snow across the landscape is merciful, has a perfect muffling decorum of its own, snow falling to whiten, soften, blur and prettify even further a landscape where there are no heads divided from bodies hanging around in the air or anywhere, either new ones, from new atrocities or murders or terrorisms, or old ones, left over from old historic atrocities and murders and terrorisms and bequeathed to the future as if in old French Revolution baskets, their wickerwork brown with the old dried blood, placed on the doorsteps of the neat and central-heating-interactive houses of now with notes tied to the handles saying please look after this head thank you […]

From Donna Tartt’s The Secret History :

The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.

From Kelly Link’s Stranger Things Happen :

The next day it was snowing and he went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came back. You sat on the patio drinking something warm and alcoholic, with nutmeg in it, and the snow fell on your shoulders. You were wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt; you were pretending that you weren’t cold, and that your lover would be back soon. You put your finger on the ground and then stuck it in your mouth. The snow looked like sugar, but it tasted like nothing at all.

From Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol :

Holly, mistletoe, red berries, ivy, turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, meat, pigs, sausages, oysters, pies, puddings, fruit, and punch, all vanished instantly. So did the room, the fire, the ruddy glow, the hour of night, and they stood in the city streets on Christmas morning where (for the weather was severe) the people made a rough, but brisk and not unpleasant kind of music, in scraping the snow from the pavement in front of their dwellings, and from the tops of their houses, whence it was mad delight to the boys to see it come plumping down into the road below, and splitting into artificial little snow-storms.

The house fronts looked black enough, and the windows blacker, contrasting with the smooth white sheet of snow upon the roofs, and with the dirtier snow upon the ground; which last deposit had been ploughed up in deep furrows by the heavy wheels of carts and wagons; furrows that crossed and re-crossed each other hundreds of times where the great streets branched off; and made intricate channels, hard to trace, in the thick yellow mud and icy water. The sky was gloomy, and the shortest streets were choked up with a dingy mist, half thawed, half frozen, whose heavier particles descended in a shower of sooty atoms, as if all the chimneys in Great Britain had, by one consent, caught fire, and were blazing way to their dear hearts’ content. There was nothing very cheerful in the climate of the town, and yet was there an air of cheerfulness abroad that the clearest summer air and brightest summer sun might have endeavoured to diffuse in vain.

21 Best Tips for How to Describe Being Cold in Writing (Master List)

Cartoon man in a big coat and feeling cold in a winter landscape - How to Describe Being Cold in Writing

Table of Contents

Let’s explore the best for how to describe being cold in writing.

21 elements to describe coldness:

Shivering body
Stinging skin
Frosty breath
Crystal clear iciness
Numb extremities
Ice formation
Chilled-to-the-bone cold
Frozen landscapes
Winter darkness
Cold-induced emotions
Dull sounds
Wind’s effect
Wildlife reaction
Cold-induced actions
Icy textures
Clothing adjustments
Cold-induced pain
Inanimate objects reaction
Harsh environment
Physical incapacitation

1. Shivering Body

When describing cold, a shivering body is often the first thing that springs to mind.

This is a primal, automatic reaction to a drop in temperature.

The body tries to generate heat by creating movement, resulting in the shaking or shivering we all know too well.

It’s the body’s desperate attempt to warm itself up, an internal fireplace stoking its own flames in a losing battle against the cold.

This can be a subtle shiver, a quiet, chattering of teeth or a violent, full-body tremor.

The degree of shivering can help to demonstrate the intensity of the cold, while also revealing a character’s physical state and resilience.

Example: “As he ventured deeper into the forest, a tremor started in his legs, slowly creeping up his spine until his entire body convulsed in a violent shiver. His teeth clattered like a rogue typewriter, each chatter a Morse code of distress against the biting cold.”

2. Stinging Skin

Cold has a particular effect on the skin, often described as a stinging or burning sensation.

This might seem counterintuitive, as we associate burning with heat, but the prickling sensation of freezing temperatures can feel remarkably similar.

The stinging can begin as a slight discomfort on exposed skin, gradually increasing in intensity as the temperature continues to drop.

Describing this sensation can be an effective way to create a vivid picture of cold in the reader’s mind.

Example: “The wind sliced through her clothing, each gust a thousand icy needles against her skin. It stung and prickled, the cold searing her as though she’d been kissed by frostbite.”

3. Frosty Breath

Visual imagery plays a huge part in describing the cold.

One of the most recognizable visuals is seeing your breath as a misty cloud in front of you.

It provides a clear visual cue for the reader and shows the difference in temperature between the body’s warmth and the air’s chill.

This frosty breath can be used to emphasize quiet, solitary moments or the harshness of the environment.

You can also use it to show the pace and depth of a character’s breath, reflecting their emotional state or physical exertion.

Example: “His breath ghosted out in front of him, a fleeting wisp of warmth swallowed instantly by the frigid air. Each puff, a testament to the bitterness around him, fading into the winter ether as quickly as it appeared.”

4. Crystal Clear Iciness

One of the unique qualities of cold weather is the crystal clear clarity it can bring.

Descriptions of this can paint beautiful, vivid pictures for the reader.

The frost-tinged world seems sharper, colors more intense, and every sound carries a different note.

The chilling effect of the cold can create stark, crisp imagery that contrasts wonderfully with the idea of a blurred, muffled world of warmth.

This characteristic sharpness can enhance the sense of isolation or the beauty inherent in a frozen landscape.

Example: “The world was etched in crystal, the coldness rendering every detail sharp and clear. The delicate frost patterns on the window, the frozen droplets clinging to the bare tree branches, every individual snowflake in its unique glory – all were highlighted by the cold’s glass-like clarity.”

5. Numb Extremities

The feeling of numbness is another key sensory detail when describing cold.

As the body’s defense mechanism against freezing temperatures, it redirects blood flow from the extremities to vital organs, causing a loss of sensation in these areas.

Fingers, toes, noses, and ears are usually the first to go numb, followed by hands and feet if the exposure continues.

The intensity of this numbness can be a powerful tool for showing the severity of the cold.

Example: “Her fingers had long ceased to feel anything, numb stumps on the end of her hands. Each attempt to move them was like manipulating someone else’s, the familiar connection between brain and limb severed by the cold.”

6. Snowfall

Snowfall, as a visual and sensory phenomenon, is an excellent tool to depict a cold atmosphere.

It introduces unique lighting, mutes sounds, changes landscapes, and adds a magical or ominous mood, depending on your story’s needs.

Describing how snow falls, its texture when it hits the skin, the way it piles up and transforms the environment can all help immerse your reader.

The density and speed of snowfall can also reflect the intensity of the cold.

Example: “The snow began to fall in earnest, a curtain of white descending from the sky, each flake a silent whisper against her cheeks. The world around her softened, swallowed up by the relentless onslaught, a cascade of icy feathers blanketing the world.”

7. Ice Formation

The formation of ice and frost adds a visual and tactile element to the description of cold.

Ice can form on surfaces, plants, water bodies, and even eyelashes or hair, presenting opportunities for some stunning imagery and metaphorical language.

The texture of ice—whether it’s slick, sharp, bumpy, or brittle—can reflect the intensity and impact of the cold.

The formation of ice can introduce new challenges or dangers for characters, adding to the plot.

Example: “An icy rime clung to every surface, a glistening crust that squeaked underfoot. It wrapped the world in a glacial embrace, turning every leaf, branch, and blade of grass into delicate glass sculptures, brittle and beautiful.”

8. Chilled-to-the-Bone Cold

Describing a deep, internal cold can help convey an extreme, unbearable coldness.

This kind of cold is often described as reaching into the bones or marrow, affecting a person from the inside out and leaving them feeling as though they will never be warm again.

Such visceral descriptions are useful not only to emphasize the cold’s severity but also to underscore a character’s resilience or vulnerability.

They can contribute to the sense of despair, dread, or determination that extreme cold often evokes.

Example: “The cold was inside her now, a deep, marrow-chilling frost that seemed to leech the warmth from her very soul. She felt as though she’d swallowed an iceberg, every breath, every heartbeat only spreading the icy chill further.”

9. Frozen Landscapes

Describing a frozen landscape can set the scene for a cold environment.

The transformation of familiar sights—rivers turned into ice, snow-covered mountains, frosted trees—can effectively convey the impact of the cold.

Additionally, describe how characters interact with this altered landscape:

Trudging through deep snow
Slipping on ice
Huddling against the wind

It also provides opportunities for beautiful, poetic descriptions that can enhance your story’s atmosphere.

Example: “The landscape lay locked in ice, a world paused and muted by winter’s grip. What was once a babbling brook was now a still, frozen snake of ice, trees sagged under the weight of their snowy coats, and the once vibrant green fields were now an unending expanse of white.”

10. Winter Darkness

Cold often comes hand in hand with darkness.

Shorter days, long nights, and often cloudy or overcast skies can add to the sense of coldness.

Describing this lack of light, the different quality of winter sunlight, or the unique brightness of a moonlit snowscape can contribute to the atmosphere.

The darkness can also reflect a character’s mood, add to the sense of isolation or vulnerability, or introduce new challenges.

Challenges such as limited visibility or the need for artificial light sources.

Example: “The sun had barely risen before it began to dip again, a weak, watery light that did little to penetrate the cold. Darkness fell like a heavy blanket, the world reduced to the circle of light thrown by their lantern, the winter night as cold as it was dark.”

11. Cold-induced Emotions

Using emotions to describe the cold can offer a more internal perspective, adding depth to your character’s experiences.

You can explore how cold affects mood, thought processes, or psychological states.

This might be discomfort, irritation, dread, or even joy and exhilaration, depending on the context.

Relating the cold to emotions fosters a more personal, subjective experience, grounding the reader in the character’s perspective.

This approach can also be used to highlight a character’s resilience, fears, or vulnerabilities.

Example: “A deep melancholy settled over him, as pervasive and chilling as the winter around him. Each shiver, each frosty breath was a physical echo of the icy dread that filled him, an emotion as biting as the wind.”

12. Dull Sounds

Cold weather often affects how sound travels, making noises seem more muffled or subdued.

This can create a sense of tranquility or isolation, depending on your narrative’s needs.

Describing the quality of sounds—the crunch of snow underfoot, the crackle of ice, the hush of a snow-covered landscape—can help to create a more immersive sensory experience.

The muted world can mirror a character’s emotions or add to the overall mood of a scene.

Example: “The world was quiet in the grip of winter, sounds muffled under the blanket of snow. Her footsteps were a soft crunch in the silence, a whisper in the frozen stillness. Even her breath seemed louder, a frosty mist that hung in the air like a silent exclamation.”

13. Wind’s Effect

The wind can significantly intensify the feeling of cold.

A strong gust can steal the breath away, sting exposed skin, and cause heat to dissipate more quickly.

It can also create visual effects, like snowflakes swirling in the air, trees bending under its force, or loose snow being swept away.

Describing the wind’s strength, direction, sound, and effects can help to convey both the objective coldness and its impact on characters and their environment.

Example: “The wind cut through her, a biting, bitter gust that seemed to come from the very heart of winter. It tugged at her clothes, stole her breath, and sent a fresh wave of shivers through her body, a relentless, icy enemy.”

14. Wildlife Reaction

Observing the behavior of wildlife can be another way to depict a cold environment.

Many animals have particular responses to the cold, from hibernation and migration to physical changes like growing thicker fur or feathers.

Describing these changes can provide a sense of the season’s progression, enhance the sense of realism, or create opportunities for metaphor and symbolism.

It can also underline the natural order’s relentlessness and the struggle for survival that cold often represents.

Example: “The squirrels had vanished, their chatter replaced by the cawing of crows, the only brave souls to defy the winter. Their footprints dotted the snow like tiny messages, a testament to life persisting in the frosty silence.”

15. Cold-induced Actions

Describing actions induced by cold can provide both visual cues and a sense of the cold’s impact on characters.

This might include shivering, rubbing hands together, huddling for warmth, pulling clothes tighter, or quickening their pace to generate heat.

Such descriptions can help to illustrate the physical discomfort and the instinctive, often futile attempts to ward off the cold.

They also add movement to the scene, creating a more dynamic picture for the reader.

Example: “He pulled his collar up, burrowing deeper into his coat as if he could hide from the cold. Every few steps, he would stop, stomp his feet, rub his hands together in a vain attempt to generate some warmth, each action a dance in the rhythm of winter.”

16. Icy Textures

Describing the textures associated with cold can enrich your story’s sensory experience.

This might include the crunch of snow underfoot, the smoothness of ice, the crispness of frosted leaves, or the stiffness of cold-soaked clothes.

Textures can evoke tactile sensations, engaging the reader’s sense of touch.

This can enhance the realism and immersive quality of your descriptions, helping to create a more believable, relatable cold environment.

Example: “The snow crunched satisfyingly under her boots, a crisp, compacted sound that was music to her ears. Each step was a tactile delight, the delicate surface giving way to her weight, a dance between her and the frost-touched earth.”

17. Clothing Adjustments

The kind of clothing characters wear and how they adjust them can also convey cold.

Bundling up in multiple layers, pulling on woolen socks, tying scarves tight, and donning gloves or mittens are all effective images that instantly suggest a chilly environment.

These details can also offer insights into your character’s preparedness, personality, or experiences.

A character used to the cold might dress more efficiently, while a character not accustomed to such temperatures may be ill-equipped.

Example: “She wound her scarf tighter, pulling it up to cover her nose, the wool scratchy against her skin. Every piece of clothing she had was layered on her body, a makeshift armor against the cold, yet she still felt the chill seeping in, relentless and unforgiving.”

18. Cold-induced Pain

Cold can cause physical discomfort and pain, from the prickling sting of freezing skin to the deep ache of chilled bones.

Describing this pain can underscore the cold’s severity, its impact on the characters, and the physical challenges they face.

This approach can add tension, elicit empathy, or test a character’s resilience.

Painful sensations can make the cold feel more immediate and real, grounding the reader in the character’s physical experience.

Example: “A deep, gnawing ache had settled into his bones, a constant reminder of the unforgiving cold. Every shiver was a jolt of pain, every breath a sharp sting in his chest, the cold no longer an external force but a cruel tormentor within.”

19. Inanimate Objects Reaction

Describing how inanimate objects respond to the cold can also help to establish a cold environment.

This could include a layer of frost on a window, a frozen water pipe, condensation on a cold surface, or the creaking sound of contracting metal.

Such descriptions can make the cold seem pervasive, affecting all aspects of the environment.

They can also create sensory details, enhance the scene’s atmosphere, or introduce practical challenges for the characters.

Example: “The window was a sheet of ice, the once-clear glass now opaque with frost. Each breath he exhaled added to the condensation, his world shrunk to this tiny, frost-fringed view of the winter outside.”

20. Harsh Environment

Describing the harshness of a cold environment can convey the challenges and dangers that characters face.

This might include treacherous ice-covered paths, blinding snowstorms, the risk of hypothermia, or the difficulty of finding food or shelter.

The harsh environment can serve as a plot-driving force, testing characters’ resilience, decision-making, and survival skills.

It can also contribute to the story’s overall mood, whether that’s one of dread, desperation, or determination.

Example: “The world was a maze of ice and snow, every path a treacherous challenge, every gust of wind a potential threat. The cold was no longer just a discomfort; it was an adversary, a ruthless, relentless force of nature.”

21. Physical Incapacitation

Cold can lead to physical incapacitation, such as slowing movements, stiffening muscles, or causing fatigue.

Describing these effects can heighten the sense of danger, underscore the characters’ vulnerability, and increase tension.

The progressive nature of such symptoms can also create a sense of urgency, pushing characters to seek shelter, find warmth, or make difficult decisions.

They make the cold a tangible threat, adding stakes to your story.

Example: “His movements were slowing, each step a herculean effort against the numbing cold. His muscles had stiffened, his mind was foggy with fatigue, the cold slowly but surely claiming him, turning him into a statue in a frozen world.”

How to Describe Warming Up After Being Very Cold

Focus on the gradual return of feeling, the soothing comfort of warmth, and the relief it brings.

You might describe the thawing of frozen fingers and toes, the gradual easing of shivers, or the flush of warmth spreading through the body.

Here’s an example:

“ His frozen hands clasped around the hot mug, the warmth seeping into his stiff fingers, bringing them back to life. The hot drink slid down his throat, a trail of warmth that radiated outwards, fighting back the cold that had settled in his bones. Slowly, the shivers that had wracked his body eased, replaced by a comforting warmth that cocooned him, a welcome reprieve from the biting cold .”

How to Describe Someone Being Woken Up by Cold Water

When describing someone being woken up by cold water, focus on the shock of the cold, the suddenness of the wake-up, and the physical sensations.

This could include the gasp of surprise, the jolt of cold against skin, and the instant alertness that follows.

“ A sudden cold shock jolted him awake, the icy water dousing him like a wake-up call. His eyes snapped open, a gasp tearing from his lips as the freezing wetness soaked him to the skin. His heart hammered in his chest, his body reacting to the sudden intrusion of cold, snapping him out of the sleepy haze into a world of shivering alertness. “

How to Describe Being Extremely Cold

Describing being extremely cold often involves a balance of physical sensations, emotional reactions, and environmental details.

It’s about capturing the numbing, all-encompassing nature of extreme cold—the way it seeps into the skin, chills the bones, freezes the breath in the air, and stings any exposed skin.

It’s a cold so intense it transforms the landscape into a frigid wonderland and slows life down.

As if each movement is a battle against an unseen icy force.

When your character is extremely cold, they might slip into hypothermia.

Here is a good video that describes what hypothermia feels like:

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: WEATHER [ANSWERS]

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

(Answer 1)

I absolutely prefer cold weather to hot weather because it’s more comfortable. I hate hot weather because I sweat a lot and I feel discomfort that I can’t work well. Besides, I easily get irritated and get headaches due to heat intensity. And because of that, I don’t like summer days, at all.

(Answer 2)

That’s a very easy question – I prefer hot weather to cold weather. I love hot weather because I enjoy sunny days. It actually brightens my day and it makes me so inspired to do some water activities such as swimming or snorkeling. Well, I tried living in a country where cold weather is extreme and I just loathed it because I felt depressed.

What’s the weather like in the place where you live?

Well, I’m lucky that our state doesn’t have extreme weather conditions compared to other states where people can experience extreme cold and hot weather. The weather condition in our place is just mild. We have bearable (tolerable) cold and hot days and because of that, a lot of local tourists visit our place when they feel the discomfort of the weather that they have in their own states.

Since I’m living in a tropical country, most of the time our weather is hot but it’s actually hotter during summertime. We sometimes reach 41-42 degrees Celsius and honestly, that is extremely hot in my opinion. Well, I love summertime but I’m not a fan of (not liking something much) 42 degrees Celsius. That for me is unbearable and I normally just stay at home when the weather is that hot.

Do you check the weather forecast before going out?/Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast?

Yes, always! That’s simply because I want to wear something that suits best the weather condition of the day and I need to be aware if there’s a storm coming so I can be prepared. You know, it’s better to prepare than to feel sorry and it doesn’t cost anything to check the weather before leaving the house, anyway.

Yes, I do but not regularly since I’m living in a tropical country. Well, most of the time, the weather condition here doesn’t change a lot. We have dry and rainy seasons so we can expect what the weather is like almost every single day. It doesn’t change that much.

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Of course! Who wouldn’t want to? (rhetorical question – to add dramatic effect) It’s exciting to experience freezing temperatures in winter and play in the snow in a different city. Also, enjoying the cool breeze that autumn brings while being surrounded (be all around) by the beauty of maple trees with red, yellow, or orange leaves is a great experience. So, who wouldn’t want to experience any of these?

Well, this country is tropical (hot and humid) so the temperature of almost all cities is just the same. But if we talk about visiting another country to experience the four seasons, yes, I would love to. In fact, I make sure to visit another country every year to experience either winter or autumn. Doing so helps me forget about my work as I get to relax.

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

I believe extreme weather conditions are the effects of climate change. I notice that during winter time, the weather is extremely cold that some countries experience a negative 20 degrees Celsius or even more than that, and when it’s summertime, a heat wave is inevitable in some parts of the world. Well, this is the price that we have to pay (the unpleasant or difficult aspect that one must face) for not taking care of our planet.

I really think the natural disasters that happen from time to time in different parts of the world are the common effects of climate change in recent years. Different countries experience different calamities such as hurricanes, typhoons, forest fires, drought, floods, and the like (and similar things) . Although the world experiences any of these, world leaders don’t make any serious effort to address the issue of climate change. All of them are just paying lip service (to express support for something without taking any significant action) to the world.

Which do you like better, dry or wet weather?

I prefer the former ( refers to the first mentioned) since I can be very productive ( fruitful) . When the sun’s up, I’m usually loaded ( filled) with so much energy. Also, I’m a person whose mood is greatly influenced by the weather, so if it’s dry and sunny I can work more efficiently and happily, however, if it’s rainy I can be as lazy as a sloth ( a sloth refers to a mammal that moves very slowly) .

What kind of weather do you like the most?

Well as I’ve just said, I like dry or sunny weather. There are no other types of weather that can suffice ( be sufficient; be enough; do; serve) the happiness that I feel on sunny days, as I can do various things such as running errands ( doing a lot of things at a time: going out to buy something, going to the bank, etc.) , doing the laundry, taking a walk in the park, and swimming.

Without a doubt ( indisputably) , it’s summer! The ambiance ( atmosphere) of summertime is just so different – people’s faces are painted with happiness. That’s because they can enjoy staying outside and doing some outdoor activities with family and friends. Actually, I dream of living in tropical ( having warm or humid weather) countries since those types of countries have the happiest people. I imagine how beautiful their life is.

Can you tell me the typical weather in your hometown?

Well, my hometown is no different from any other place in my country. We do have four seasons. When it’s winter, we experience below-zero degrees ( a temperature that is negative) . When it’s autumn or spring, we have chilly and rainy days, and when it’s summer, our temperature reaches 38 degrees Celsius. The temperature in summer is just manageable ( doable) but not in winter.

Author, Band 9.0 Achiever (First Attempt - IELTS Speaking)

Hi students! My name is Julius. I am the author of this IELTS website. I am a non-native English speaker who achieved the highest band score (band 9.0) on the IELTS speaking test on my first attempt. I graduated with a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the prestigious state universities in the Philippines. I am a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. I once worked at a UK-based company teaching business English to Japanese businessmen who primarily work at Nikkei, a popular media company in Japan. I created this website to help you all achieve your desired band scores so you will waste so much money, time, and effort for retaking the exam numerous times. All of the sample answers I provided on this website are a product of my experience as a band 9.0 achiever and an experienced IELTS speaking coach. I've made sure that all of the sample answers are developed in a conversational and natural way because that is how I achieved a crisp band 9.0. Be one of the many students who achieved their target band scores by utilizing this website as one of the learning resources!

How Cold Weather Affects the Body During Exercise

Achieving peak performance requires extra effort when you're exercising in cold weather. Learn how cold weather affects the body during exercise and what you can do to avoid dehydration and fatigue.

woman-running_cold-weather_winter-exercise

Throughout the winter, there is no shortage of cold weather activities to choose from. You might go skiing, skating, snowshoeing, sledding or simply take your walk or run outdoors. These are more than just fun winter pastimes. A study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that cold weather workouts could burn more calories compared to those done in warm weather.

While exercising outside in the winter can be perfectly safe, it does require some extra precautions. The physiological and metabolic impact of exercising in cold weather can be intense. The body needs to work harder to perform in a harsher climate and be able to generate adequate heat to keep warm.

When the body is exposed to a significant change in temperature, elevation or intensity, its initial need for energy increases, so it breaks down glycogen, a form of carbohydrate, in the muscles.

“Glycogen is our body’s primary source of stored energy that is available for use immediately,” said Julie Lois , RD, CD, sports dietitian with the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network. “Due to this initial breakdown, it becomes increasingly important to optimize nutrient intake before, during and after cold weather training/workouts to ensure adequate repletion of energy stores and optimize muscle function.”

Energy-Packed Foods for Fuel

The number of calories an individual burns during any exercise depends on many factors, including his or her level of physical fitness, height, weight, body composition, age and the type of exercise. For example, in a day of skiing, a person could easily expend up to 2,000 calories. Eating a hearty meal rich in carbs and protein two-to-four hours before a workout will give your body an optimal fuel source.

“After the first hour of activity, a carbohydrate-rich snack should be consumed every 30 to 60 minutes to replete energy during exercise,” Lois said. For this type of snack, she recommends eating:

a peanut butter sandwich
orange slices
an energy bar
trail mix with dried fruit

If you plan to continue exercising the same day or the next day, eat a carb-and-protein-rich snack within 30 to 60 minutes of completing your workout. This will replete glycogen stores in the muscles and stimulate muscle repair. Recovery foods that Lois recommends include:

low-fat chocolate milk
a fruit and yogurt smoothie
graham crackers with nut butter
an apple or banana with nut butter

A study of Navy SEALs participating in mountain warfare/cold weather training found they struggled to keep up with their body’s energy demands. The study looked at the SEALs’ energy expenditure and their energy intake and determined that increasing intake, primarily with carbohydrates, during planned breaks and downtime could help. While this is an extreme example, the research demonstrates the importance of regularly replenishing nutrients during periods of physical activity in the cold.

“Your body will fatigue faster in the cold weather without adequate fuel,” said Julie Carpenter, a licensed athletic trainer at the Froedtert & MCW Sports Medicine Center and athletic trainer for the U.S. speedskating team. “The cold slows down all of your body’s chemical processes, including your nervous system’s ability to generate a muscle contraction.”

While physical activity in the cold requires more nutrients, exercising in cold weather will not necessarily cause an individual to burn more calories than in a temperate climate. Generally, exercising generates enough heat that the body should not have to engage in additional heat-generating mechanisms that burn calories, such as involuntary muscle contractions through shivering or the activation of brown fat cells, dark-colored adipose tissue found throughout the body containing stored energy.

Risk of Dehydration During Exercise

Dehydration during cold weather exercise carries the same risk as it would when exercising in the heat, but a person will not feel as thirsty. The cold diminishes thirst by up to 40 percent .

“Your blood vessels constrict when you’re cold and prevent blood flow to the extremities, like your hands and feet,” Carpenter said. “Blood vessel constriction is a warming mechanism that allows your body to draw more blood to your core.”

Research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found this process of vascular constriction leads to reduced secretion of a fluid-regulating hormone called arginine vasopressin, or AVP, which leads to a decline in thirst.

Respiratory fluid loss and sweat (which can be less noticeable under winter layers than in the summer) also contribute to fluid loss.

“When you breathe in cold, dry air, your body warms and humidifies that air,” Carpenter said. “When you exhale, the vapor you see is actually fluid loss.”

The speedskaters Carpenter trains are accustomed to pushing their bodies to the limit in cold conditions. While the skaters usually practice indoors at the Pettit National Ice Center, they still have to take into account cold conditions at the rink. They also frequently compete outdoors.

“Whether they are skating indoors or outdoors, most of them wear a scarf over their face or a face mask to prevent dehydration and to keep their airways moist,” Carpenter said. “They also bring warm liquids, like tea, to encourage hydration.”

A good rule of thumb is for every hour of physical activity — in the cold or in the heat — the body needs 16 ounces of water.

Be Aware of Hypothermia and Frostbite

Exercising in cold weather can put the body at risk of hypothermia, which occurs when body temperature drops below 95°F. Consider the wind chill when preparing for cold weather activities. Plenty of layers and moisture-wicking clothing are the best defense, along with limiting exposure.

“The body does an excellent job of maintaining a constant temperature, but extended exposure to cold can overwhelm its auto-regulation mechanism,” said Matthew Chinn, MD , emergency medicine physician with the Froedtert & MCW Moorland Reserve Emergency Department . “Shivering is one way the body maintains its temperature. As hypothermia progresses, the body’s shivering mechanism may stop working, people may become confused and the heart can stop working normally.”

Frostbite can cause permanent damage to the body as skin, nerves and tissue freeze at the site of injury. A person’s extremities, such as their hands, feet, ears or tip of their nose are most vulnerable. Frostbite can occur on exposed skin in less than thirty minutes.

“The first signs of frostbite can be numbness, clumsiness and cold skin,” Dr. Chinn said. “The skin can also appear discolored or turn black.”

Gloves, warm socks and hats are good protection from the cold.

How Cold Is Too Cold to Exercise Outside?

Wisconsin winters can be brutal when it comes to cold temperatures. To avoid hypothermia and frostbite, move your workout inside if the temperature drops below 0°F or the wind chill reaches -17°F. You are unlikely to get frostbite when the temperature is above 5°F and the wind blows at less than 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service , but that risk increases substantially as the temperature drops and wind speeds pick up. Exposed skin can develop frostbite in 30 minutes at a wind chill of -19°F.

Prepare for Performance

To achieve peak athletic performance in cold conditions, research shows that consuming the right nutrients early and often and hydrating even when you are not thirsty will go a long way. Layered clothing to provide insulation and protection from the elements, as well as avoiding extended exposure to cold, will also protect you from certain dangerous conditions.

This winter has been particularly rough trying to workout, especially with the pandemic and the gyms closed. I need to get out and do something for my mental health! I came across some exercise tips during the cold that were helpful , https://www.ez.insure/landing/2021/01/tips-for-exercising-outdoors/ . What are your thoughts?

thanks for that article. I was trying to find out why I get so exhausted hillwalking in severe windchill and you're the only person who's actually answered the question. I'll take more food with me in future.

160+ Ways to Describe Weather

I keep a collection of descriptions that have pulled me into the books I read. I’m fascinated how authors can–in just a few words–put me in the middle of their story and make me want to stay there. This one’s 160+ Ways to Describe Weather.

A note: These are for inspiration only . They can’t be copied because they’ve been pulled directly from an author’s copyrighted manuscript (intellectual property is immediately copyrighted when published).

Evening shadows deepened into blue and purple.
The shadows retreated.
Sun was sinking toward the horizon, the pitiless white ball now an angry orange.
Fading afternoon in early June
Evening sky had turned to molten brass.
Sun still cast a faint yellow light through Slowly gathering evening.
Daylight had begun to drain away.
one-quarter of a moonlit night
silver-white moon hung
A half-moon rests in the fronds over our heads.
watching the horizon drain of color
The shadows slipped up the rocks as though the world were drowning in darkness.
deepening shadows made it a city of ghosts
barely visible in the fading light
the high heavens
Darkness settled around him.
The shadows slipped up the rocks.
Evening was crisp already, the last of sunset just a fading pale stripe in the western sky.
darkening river
the moon golden at dawn, turn purple just before sunset in the rainy season, sometimes has white and black stripes created by volcanic ash, calm and clear sometimes attended by only a single cloud
humpback shapes of conical hills
The last rays of sun skimmed the surface.
late afternoon sun
velvety darkness
night shattered like a mirror
the Southern Cross lying on its side, the green meadow bathed in the humid light of the sinking sun
The corners have just about disappeared into the shadows.
black branches that traced the blue-black heavens overhead
far away down the night sky
full moon a pale blue-white disk
night sky dull black
Stars were remote pinpricks.
a half-moon rests in the fronds over our heads
inky blackness
Thick clouds blotted out the stars.
A thin layer of clouds masked the full moon, filling the room with blue light.
Sun cast a luminescent glow.
The day was out of sync with his mood.
beautiful, 82 degrees, mild breeze, cloudless sunshine, a day for looking at a ball game
The air was cool but the sun was out.
The wind blew itself out overnight.
a web of clouds, back-lit by the failing sun, mist billowed through the trees and over the fields and hung low in the air, masking the camp in a ghostly gray
towering thunder clouds
Clouds threatening, but no rain predicted the 45-mile per hour gusts of drizzly wind.
brown cloud that passes for air
a wedge of sunlight bursting past the narrow window
The wind was icy and withering.
Heads bowed against the gusting wind.
Grit grated in his teeth. Dust was everywhere, blowing on the wind, leaving its scent in his nostrils.
as dust motes drifted
thirty miles over the horizon
razor edge of the horizon
cinder dust and gloom
The haze floated over the crowd like smoke from a doused fire.
Sun hanging in a pink haze of clouds and smog.
Fog yellowed by agricultural burning.
Fog began to billow across the road in a great grey mass like the effluent of a thousand smokestacks. The building was only a shadowy form, almost entirely lost to view.
Headlamps of cars did little to pierce the gloom.
The mist floated like smoke out of the cypress in the swamp.
dark clouds drifting over the hills
night was pitch
slice of sky
thick clouds blotted out the stars
a thin layer of clouds masked the full moon, filling the room with blue light
cool restful shady world with light filtering lazily through the treetops that meet high overhead and shut out the direct sunlight
saw the anvil of cloud coming in. “A thunderstorm.”
Cumulus clouds falling down to the…
A light breeze whispered through the trees.
cloud shadows
first cumulus clouds darkening into thunderheads
hold humidity like a sponge holds water
thick heat of the growing morning
fierce humidity
windless heat
It was surprisingly hot. He could feel the sweat roll down his sides and the dampness of the box up against his chest.
Even with the breeze, the air remained thick and hot, and it stills tank of petroleum.
sky as gray-white and sunless
against the fading layers of orange, yellow
shoulders hunched against the early morning damp and cool
fused warm light of dawn now creeping down the summit
bathed in sunlight
gold shadow not three inches from his leg
his breath steaming in the air
Snow pelted his face and he pulled up the collar of his overcoat to further shield him from the bitter weather.
rubbed his arms
A harsh winter wind blew out of a midnight sky. It roared out of the frigid north and thrashed the brooking forest. The force of it bent trees, whipping their bare branches like angry lashes. Shrieking across the river.
Cold was like that, seeping through her seven layers of clothing, attacking seams and zipper tracks and spots of thin insulation. The exposed skin on her face felt as if it had been touched with lit cigarettes.
frigid Friday morning
swirling snow
winter’s naked branches created a black tracework
The sun was climbing out of the deep well of winter, but it was still brutally cold.
winter colors daubed the land in colors of brown and gray
sunny, crisp and cool
The crisp air and clear sky energized his thoughts.

Rainy weather

grey wet morning
rain-swept and unpleasantly chilly
A flurry of rain stung my face.
Cold rain was beating down on my windshield.
The sky was leaden.
Downpour started in the early evening and continued on through the night, a heavy pelting of water that thundered against rooftops and drowned out the sound of all else. By morning, city streets were shallow rivers rushing toward the ocean.
Rain ran down the window, the streets gleamed.
damp paving stones
By the time it reaches the ground, it has spent its energy.
windshield wipers barely keeping up with the cold, hard rain
The rain came steady and cold against the windshield and rattled on the roof of the car.
turned her head away and looked out my window, where it had gotten dark and shiny with the lights glistening off the rain.
The maple trees were black and slick in the rain, their bare branches shiny. The flower bed was a soggy matting of dead stems.
The sky was low and gray.
Air was swollen.
the rain was steady and warm and vertical
drizzly rain
The sleety rain drizzled down, not very hard and not very fast, but steady.
Rain came down so hard it almost hurt, stinging the skin and blowing into the eyes and nose and mouth, but in the forest its fall is broken by the trees.
saw a distant flash of lightning, counted the seconds, and then said, “six miles, more or less.”

People in hot weather:

Heat wave hit, temperatures went soaring.
The heat hit them like a hand in the face.
strode into the dusk, into the stifling heat
The heat smacked the grin off his face.
Burst back into the blistering hot sun. Sweat immediately beaded across her brow. She could feel her T-shirt glue itself stickily to her skin.
I could feel the sweat form along my backbone and trickle down.
She slogged forward, feeling blotches of dark gray sweat bloom across the front of her T-shirt, while more trailed down the small of her back.
slogging across pavement as hot as ash in August.
white dress shirt, sharply pressed this morning, was now plastered against his chest
already short of breath, his lungs laboring as they headed down the path
still wrung out from working in the heat
Take your shirt off. Pop your underwear in the freezer. Dump a tray of ice cubes on your bed. Throw back some chilled vodka shots before you go to sleep.
The semi-drought slowly draining the life out of the grass and trees.
Only 7 in the morning, and already stocky hot. *** had a sheen across his forehead.
Sweat tricked from his forehead which he wiped with the back of his knotted, callused hand.
hundred degree heat, burning sun and parching salt
ninety-five outside, probably a hundred in the car. Not great weather for polyester suits
a fresh drop of sweat teared up on her brow and made a slow, wet path down the plane of her cheek
walking through a hair dryer
The heat slammed her like a blow.
*** cranked the air-conditioning. She stripped off her sweat-soaked clothes, climbed into the shower and scrubbed.
answered the phone while used the other hand to wipe the sweat from the back of her neck. God this heat was unbearable. The humidity level had picked up on Sunday and hadn’t done a thing to improve since.
*** thin green sundress was already plastered to her body while she could feel fresh dewdrops of moisture trickle stickily down between her breast.
Cradled the phone closer to her damp ear
Her face shiny with sweat.
Summer sun remained a brilliant, blinding white. No shade existed for miles and the heat rising up from the baked earth was brutal.
The summer heat came off the tarmac in waves.

Hot Weather

While the mercury climbed to a hundred degrees. Efforts started strong, then petered out. People got hot, got tired, got busy with other things—inside things.
Seemed to be bracing himself for leaving the cool comfort of air-conditioning behind and bursting once more into the heat
The heat settled in on them, rolling in like a heavy blanket and pressing them deep into their chairs while their clothing glued to their skin.
Even my teeth are sweating
The sun beat down relentlessly; even with the AC cranked up, she could feel the heat.
She could already feel sweat trickle down her back.
The sun burned white-hot overhead.
glass exploding from the heat of the sun
vanish in the dry season’s brown leaves

Nice collection! A lot of poetic and inventive phrasing there.

✨🙏🕉🌱🌿🌳🌻💚🕊☯🐉✨

Weather is so many different things to different people. Not surprising I found 160 descriptions of it.

Ha! yes – that got me thinking about the old “Number of words for snow” question, and I found this . As a Scot myself though I have to say I am very, very skeptical of the final claim in that article!

I’ve heard of that, too. Luckily, my folks don’t have that problem but it is truly an issue if you’re writing about present-day groups in snowy lands.

Appreciate your list of ways to describe the weather. Timeless too. Here I am 2 years since your post and inspired by your creativity. Take care, Steve

It is timeless, isn’t it! When I put this list together, it helped me to better appreciate weather.

Impressive list. (Mine, now!) I’m compiling one for similes. Raymond Chandler makes me smile with his off the wall analogies. I recently added a Writing Terms Checklist on my free checklists page. It was too long for a post. Thanks for all you do!

I like checklists. I’ll check yours out!

Hi Jacqui, Thanks for reading my modest post. What an accomplished woman you are! What would we do without words, eh! Cheers. Joy x

Thanks, Joy. I enjoyed your thoughts. It’s amazing what inspired such accomplished writers as the Brontes.

Excellent list, Jacqui. I even get lots of ideas for titles, something I’m always struggling with entering competitions.

I grab these from books I read. You can probably tell I favor thrillers, action. I like ‘weather’ and ‘setting’ to be a character as much as the others.

That’s an amazing compilation. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks! These sorts of lists inspire me.

An awesome post, Jacqui. Thank you. Weather intrigues. It is joy-filled and sometimes furious. God is bowling upstairs during a thunderstorm. Be well and enjoy the week. ox

Thanks–weather is fascinating. I like when I can feel it through an author’s words.

Indeed and thank you, Jacqui. Word play is an enjoyable activity. We have about seven months of winter, two days of spring and then summer at our end of the pond in Upstate New York. I love my four seasons. Be well.

7 months of winter. I didn’t know NY was that cold! Good to know so I never move there!

Jacqui, I laughed at your comment. We live near Lake Ontario and Oneida Lake and get frequent lake effect snow storms in winter. When I first moved to this area, I learned about lake effect snowstorms. We have excellent snow removal though so come on over sometime. Colorful in Autumn too.

These are great, Jacqui! And yes, inspirational. It’s good to see how other authors describe things; it gives ideas on alternates.

It is. There are some very clever minds out there.

What an epic list 😀 Reminds me of a ‘music’ video we were recommended to watch for university called ’50 words for snow.’ It’s fun to think of different ways to describe things!

That must be put out by Eskimos. They know more about snow than anyone I’ve seen.

That’s a long list, Jacqui. So many ways to tell the day. Thanks for sharing this!

It’s one of my longest! Who knew?

That’s a lot of ideas for talking about the weather 🙂

Dinner party chat.

Quite eloquent 🙂

These lists are so inspirational! Thank you for posting this.

It is pretty interesting to view weather through so many literary eyes, innit?

Yes, indeed. I learn so much. 🙂

great list Jacqui. i use the weather regularly in my stories to create a specific mood. thanks for the info.

A bit of unexpected inspiration. Who knew weather was so interesting?

exactly, Jacqui. i also post weather images regularly on instagram. especially the colours of sunrises and sunsets in clouds during different seasons and different weather conditions.

Interesting post, Jacqui. Thanks.

I highlight memorable phrases in the Kindle books I read. Although I no longer transcribe them into a file on my computer (too time-consuming), the mere act of highlighting imprints the phrases in my mind. If an author particularly impresses me, I can scroll through the highlights and reread the highlights for inspiration.

That’s how I do it, too. I like it so well, I’ve migrated from being a print book reader to a Kindle reader.

It’s nice to see the wide variety of language. Not that it is needy. I can describe the weather currently in my area in one word — sucky! 😀

Ah South Korea. It rained most of the time on my one visit there. And no one but me seemed to care!

We’re having a monsoon right now. Don’t remember having a good one of these for a while.

I remember my son telling me July was the typhoon season, which is why we visited in May. Stay safe!

Nothing that crazy. We had a tropical depression pass through, but that’s it. It’s just wet.

I love the idea of keeping a notebook with descriptions that catch your attention. I’m going to start doing this.

Mine is so long,d I added a table of contents with links to the sections! I’m a bit nuts about it.

I love the way you compile and share these lists with us, Jacqui. They are amazing and so helpful. Can I confess something? I share some of them with my creative writing students, and then give them prompts where they have to include 3 or more things from your lists. Will be interesting to see how I do that with weather. 🙂

This one got a little long. Who knew there were so many clever ways to describe weather?

I am flattered you share them! I would say weather could surprise them.

This one IS long – but weather gives us a lot to talk about and a lot to experience. I love the list. I will say, the prompt my students seem to love the best is. (are you sitting down?) “It was a dark and stormy night…” 🙂

Reblogged this on Marina Costa and commented: Interesting and useful to know.

Thanks for sharing, Marina!

The English should love this…

I would say India not so much. Do you-all get anything other than hot and humid or too-darn-windy?

What a helpful post, Jacqui! It reminds me of how we can put effort into our descriptions.

BTW, you won a book on my blog. Please confirm there.

Ooh, sorry I missed that. I just went over and replied and then emailed my info to you. How exciting!

Reblogged this on quirkywritingcorner and commented: I love her lists of descriptions. I hope you find them as helpful as I do.

Thanks for sharing this! It puts to bed any thought that weather is boring, doesn’t it?

That’s quite a collection, Jacqui. Isn’t it amazing that each of us can conjure something unique?

It is! Next time you don’t know what to say to someone, you can eruditely talk about the weather!

That’s so funny. Weather ‘small’ talk. Who would’ve thought. 😂

Great post. That’s a wonderful collection

Thank you so much, Luisa. It’s hard to make weather interesting but some very clever authors have done just that.

Jacqui, I love this post. The more I have been reading, the more I recognize how important it is for authors to paint a picture in your mind. To be able to put you right in the middle of the books setting. Sometimes when my mind has trailed off the story, it is descriptions like these that put my mind right back in.

That’s true, innit. A little inspiration to start your day.

I love your descriptions of weather and the times of day. Such descriptions can help add a sense of time in a story (just as the phases of the moon or the stars can create time (crescent moon in evening is aa new waxing moon, crescent moon in morning before sunrise is a waxing moon just before the “dark of the moon” which are the three days the moon is in the shadow of the earth. As for stars: Orion in winter, Scorpus in summer, etc). The dog star in Canis Major, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, rising in late summer (as it rises just before daylight) is linked to “dog days” of summer…

I also like the old graveside prayer that describes the end of life: “until the shadows lengthen and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at last.”

What a wonderful poem. I’ve copied it. It captures so much of the fear and hope.

Thanks for these awesome examples, Jacqui! Saving and sharing…

It’s always fun to talk about the weather, innit?

New Jersey weather: moist ‘n’ icky.

Good description, especially the ‘icky’.

I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.

Oh my, Jacqui. I love your lists and that’s a good long one. Great thought starters. Thanks for sharing your collection!

Since we-all know we must cover weather, I thought these were clever asnd interesting ways to do that!

Ha ha ha. I love weather. 😀

Right now there is only one way to describe the weather here in my city: hot

Here, too, though I have an excellent fan in my home office.

Some great phrases here, Jacqui. I am reading The Long Walk by Bachman/King at the moment and that has some very descriptive phrases in it.

Oooh, I’ll have to look at him. I love nature writers.

It’s not a nature book, it is a dark psychological horror.

Woah! OK, that’s different!

Darn! All the things I was about to write! 😀

Hehee. These are beyond most of what I write but I’ve seen what you turn out. Excellent.

Wonderful post!

Thanks, Ed. Food for thought…

A lot, just wonderful and so helpful.

My goodness …. can I just say ‘HOT’ … luckily today it’s cooler with a sea breeze … I need to read them all – clever and thank you! Cheers Hilary

Hot works. Absolutely.

Hahaha can I just say HOT, or the weather outside is weather yeah?

What a wonderful list, Jacqui! These are descriptions that always make me pause and reread them to fully enjoy them. They do draw the reader deep the story. I enjoyed reading these, thanks:)

Thanks! They do that for me, too, and that’s why I couldn’t just read and move on. I had to note them!

Some of these are quite lovely. Thanks for sharing.

If you recognized them from your outdoors scenes, feel free to add a note!

I actually didn’t recognize any of them. 🤔

OMG, Jacqui. What an amazing list Thanks for sharing.

It’s really nice for those whose plots take place outdoors a lot!

BTW, finished your book. Couldn’t stop reading. Wonderful.

Thank you, Jacqui. You put a smile on my face:)

Wow, great post. Bookmarking.

Amazing how much there is to say about the weather, innit?

I love weather, the seasons, earth and sky. There were some lovely gems in this collection. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Mae. I didn’t used to think much about the weather until I had to write about it, and make it interesting! These really struck me.

A terrific resource Jacqui. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Brigid. I couldn’t believe how many weather descriptors I had!

Nice information thanks

Thanks! Everyone writes about weather, right?

Great list, Jacqui. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks, Jill. Who says weather isn’t interesting? Hmm??

I think I’d like to be a meteorologist in my next life. 🙂
