Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration.

If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
