Several people are ice skating on a rink. At the middle of the rink is a lifeguard tower with a lifeguard sitting up top and observing the skaters.
There is a lifeguard tower watching over an area that is nowhere near the beach and nobody is swimming.
Why is there a lifeguard on an ice rink?
There's a warm front coming through this afternoon.

The joke is that a lifeguard, a safety measure at a pool, could be required if the ice rink melted into water. However, a warm front, even in the winter, probably wouldn't be enough to melt the ice rink and turn it into a pool. Nonetheless, the lifeguard, unusually placed at the rink, believes this might happen.
