Why can someone die from dehydration in a desert but not in a rain forest at the same temperature?

Well they can in fact die at the same temperature, but it will simply take longer. The reason is, in the rain forest the humidity in the air is much much higher than in the desert. This means that the person will loose water from evaporation much faster in the desert than in the rain forest, which leads to them dying much quicker.
