Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
