Most people are comfortable with 30 - 60% relative humidity. Higher levels cause discomfort because there is too much moisture in the air, saturated moisture makes it impossible for sweat to evaporate, causing an uncomfortable wet feeling on the skin. In the whole North, in the wet season, or in the south, the weather is hot and humid, and the amount of water vapor in the air also increases the humidity. High humidity is not good  for health, especially causing dehydration for the body.

1. Why does high air humidity cause dehydration?

When the air is high in humidity, as is the case with humid weather, sweat cannot escape leaving our bodies feeling hot and sticky. To cool off, our body has to work harder. This leads to profuse sweating, increased speed and depth of blood circulation, and increased respiration. Excessive sweating can cause loss of water and substances that the body needs to function properly, potentially endangering our health.

2. Precautionary measures

2.1. Fully rehydrate before going out

To prevent it, instead of letting your body lose water and then realizing it, make sure you're well-hydrated before going out. Drink water and prepare enough water for you to use all day before you are outside for an extended period of time.

You should continue to drink water during your time outdoors. If you are outside and find yourself without fluids, go indoors, cool down and try to replenish fluids to stay hydrated.

2.2. Listen to your body

Your body has built-in mechanisms that tell you when you're dehydrated. To keep dehydration from progressing, you should respond to these cues. When you feel thirsty, drink water. If your body is having a hard time regulating its temperature and losing more water during exercise, adjust the time and manner of your exercise accordingly. For example, exercise during cooler times of the day and not so intensely to lose less water.

2.3. Use liquid with sodium

Sodium is especially effective for rehydration. If you're feeling dehydrated, combine the fluids you consume with a snack or salty drink for an extra boost of hydration. In addition to water, you can also rehydrate by drinking electrolyte-containing beverages, which are very effective during exercise.

2.4. Monitor your body's water retention

The easiest way to measure the amount of water in your body is to check the color of your urine. If your urine is light yellow or straw color, it means that you are sufficiently hydrated. However, if it becomes darker, it means your body is dehydrated and you need to replenish fluids.

2.5. Learn how to recognize the signs of dehydration

Learn how to recognize the signs of excessive dehydration and heat-related illness in yourself and others, and when to seek treatment. This is essential when you exercise or spend a long time outside. Symptoms may include dizziness, heart palpitations, dry skin, extreme fatigue or lack of mental focus.
