Sometimes, don't you just feel like the heat outside is burning through you rather than onto your skin? The humidity seems to seep inside you and cook you like a microwave. Walking outside of your house has you sweating in just seconds and you feel like you need to change your clothes. Make sure you keep hydrated and wear loose, light colored clothing. the thing is, your body is already warm inside and your body is releasing sweat to maintain body temperature and not overheat. You need to replenish the lost water or you'll dehydrate and get dizzy. Continue this and you could pass out from exhaustion.
A good way to test and see if you are dehydrated is by pulling on the skin on the back of your hand. If it quickly snaps back and becomes smooth you are fine. If it moves slowly or not at all then you are dehydrated and should drink a glass or two of water. The lack of the total of needed water allows your skin to become less elastic. Eight glasses a day is the recommended amount of healthy water intake.
I'm thirsty now. Haha.
