A hot day will cause the body to overheat. Human regulates temperature by secreting sweat into the skin which will evaporate and take away the heat.
The secretion of sweat will decrease the fluid inside the body and might cause dehydration.
The decrease in body fluid volume will cause the person to feel thirsty. Thirst will cause the person to drink and replenish the body fluid loss from sweat.
