What Are the Effects of Winter on Your Health and Household Items?

Sylvia James August 09, 2021 Trends Leave a Comment
Household Items like mug

The Winter season has a prominent effect on human health and household items, and many things are negatively affected due to cold temperatures. Australia has snowy winters from August to July. During these months, the chance of people contracting diseases due to low temperature is very high.

Also, electronic devices and wood are affected due to the low temperatures. But, one can avoid these problems up to a limit by using heater hire services. During the winter, keeping the interiors warm is very crucial. Besides, not only homes but office spaces and other spaces should also remain warm enough.

Effect on Health

Winter affects health a lot, especially in a country like Australia, where most of the year is hot. The sudden temperature changes can cause different reactions in the human body. Some of them will immediately manifest, while others can be gradual. The immediate effects include allergies and colds. Besides, snow can cause allergic reactions in many people.

Frostbite and Hypothermia

Frostbite and hypothermia are the other two common problems during winter. Ears, nose, cheeks, fingertips, toes are commonly affected by frostbite. Meanwhile, hypothermia results from the temperature loss of the body at a rate higher than it produces heat. This state can cause shivering, tiredness, confusion etc. This condition, if continued for a long time, can cause severe health problems and even death. 

Heart and Blood Circulation Problems

Another significant effect of winter on people’s health is the problems related to the heart. Blood circulation plays a vital role in keeping the body warm. When the human body gets exposed to cold weather, the heart works harder to keep the body temperature maintained. This restless working of the heart increases the chance of heart attack during winter. On the other hand, many Australians are affected by dry skin during the winter. This happens as a result of the air absorbing the moisture out of the body.

Other Common Problems

There are some indirect health problems that come with winter, and one such problem is the loss of balance. In Many parts of Australia, since the winter is harsh, and snow falling is common, the ice build-up in the doorways and roads is usual. Slipping on ice is typical in the winter season, and this problem causes injuries. So at the time of winter, houses and offices should have a heater. Many commercial heater hire services are available in Australia. So, you can take advantage of such services.

Effects on Electronic Devices

Electronic devices can be affected by winter. Unusually, the devices which depend on batteries are more susceptible to winter problems. This is due to the fact that the batteries give optimum performance at favourable temperatures. Heat and extremely cold temperatures can cause the batteries to malfunction.

Condensation can also cause the build-up of moisture on the surface of electronic devices. And moisture content can lead to both electrical failure and corrosive failure in electronic devices. Furthermore, LCD displays of devices can freeze due to notably cold temperatures.

Another problem that occurs in electronic devices with moving parts is the contraction of metal parts. This problem causes high stress in these parts and thus leads to catastrophic failure of the whole machinery. Also, oily lubricants in many devices freeze and cause malfunctions.

Effect on Wood Furniture

Wood is affected by winter to a great extent, and so is wood furniture. Wood can expand in cold temperatures, and this can cause cracks in furniture. There is also a chance for the contraction of wood during winter.

The temperature difference in the air is the reason behind wood expansion or contraction. So, if the furniture is directly exposed to the winter temperature, there will be more condensation, and this causes enlargement of the wood. On the contrary, if the furnishings are inside the building and condensation is less, then the drier atmosphere causes contraction of the wood. And both negatively affect the life of wood furniture.
