Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
