Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
