Fact-check: “In hot weather it is best to drink cold water to stay hydrated”
Verdict: Misleading (72% confidence)
Cold water doesn't hydrate you better than room-temperature water — once it reaches your stomach, temperature has almost no effect on how much your body absorbs. Cold water can help you feel cooler and may encourage you to drink more, but the evidence points to roughly 16°C (cool but not ice-cold) as the optimal drinking temperature for maximizing voluntary fluid intake and hydration, not ice-cold water.
