Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.

When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
