The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing.

Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

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. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
