This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
