Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
