Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
