Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism.

Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
