Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
