Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
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. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
