Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
