Explanation:

To support the statement that weather changes affect water needs, we look for text showing a link between hot weather and increased fluid intake. The sentence "During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of activity level" directly shows that hot (weather change) leads to more water needed. Other parts talk about heat definitions, droughts, or general heat safety, not the weather - water need connection.

During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of activity level.
