Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
