Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
