You probably have basically unlimited access to clean drinking water. That means you’ve probably never experienced being thirsty from actual lack of water.
You’re usually really thirsty when you’re hot. That’s because your body lets go of tons of moisture when you’re hot (in the form of sweat).
Your body doesn’t like being heated up when it’s trying to cool down. The whole reason it wants water is to sweat and cool off. Putting warm or hot water in your body at that moment is counter-productive.
However, warm water can feel good if you are thirsty and cold.
