Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
