The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion.

Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
