Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism.

If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
