The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity.

Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air.
