Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
