Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
