Cold hands and feet can be uncomfortable, especially in damp or windy weather. Gentle warmth may help you feel more comfortable, but persistent or painful symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Why hands and feet get cold first
When the body is cold, it prioritises core warmth. Hands and feet may feel colder as a result, particularly for people who are cold-sensitive.
Practical comfort tips
- Keep the core warm with layers.
- Protect hands and feet from wind and moisture.
- Keep moving where possible.
- Use gentle warmth, avoiding excessive heat.
