The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion.

Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. 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 is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
