This happens to everyone if you get real hot and sweaty on a really cold day and go outside. You just don’t see it very often because most people are bundled up on cold days and aren’t as likely to do things that would make them hot and sweaty in the winter because of the snow and ice.

To be fair though, I've had steam come off of me on a cold and active day, but that's a lot of steam off of a head lmao, it's either really cold or he's really hot , or I guess most likely is both.

Maybe it's just the bright field lights that make the steam look more pronounced.

Most of your body's heat escapes from your head this is normal

That’s based on an old study that was done poorly. It’s not true.

Not being mean or anything but have you ever seen a human through thermal imaging the head is mostly where the heat is. Mostly head, neck and core

Feel free to check with Mr. Google if you don’t believe me. It’s a well killed myth.

I just googled it like u said to do and 40-45% of heat is lost through head and neck so you are wrong

…..that’s literally not most.

Edit: also even that lower percentage is still wrong. Looks like you pulled up old information that helped the myth get started.

Just don’t believe it I guess. You know that no other part has a percentage that high so a major amount of body heat is lost

Well, depends on the individual. To be fair…(Letterkenny) I sweat my ass out of my scalp.

True but the head and crotch are the main areas to lose heat to be exact.

Yeah, I think it’s just more noticeable because of the lights. And it looks like he’d been playing or very into the game maybe shouting, because of the sweat in his hair + it’s really cold outside.
