Winter Melon Turns Into Unexpected Cooling Method in China
In different regions of China, children and pets are turning to hugging giant winter melons as a way to alleviate the intense summer heat.
This popular practice is based on the belief that winter melon has the ability to absorb body heat due to its high water content and high thermal mass, allowing it to stay cooler than the surrounding air for long periods.
Its effect, according to the explanation in the report, resembles natural compresses that gradually absorb heat.
