Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration.

Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
