I've lived for extended periods in a number of places, from about 8' of elevation in the humid climate of Louisiana to over 8,000' in the arid climate of Colorado.
Lower elevations, particularly those with even moderate levels of relative humidity, provide considerably more feedback on fluid loss than do high elevations with low humidity, where sweat, which evaporates almost as quickly as it leaves your body, is far less noticeable.
In aviation, "High, Hot and Heavy" is (or used to be - haven't been around it much in about 20 years) a well known signal of danger on take off.
The term "High, Hot and Hiking" should be driven home to anyone hitting the trails in certain areas.
