Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases.
