Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat.

Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
