The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences.

Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down.

When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
