Explanation at your level:

In A1, you learn 'Minulla on jano' (I am thirsty). 'Tulla jano' is just a small step further. It means 'to get thirsty'. You use the word 'minulle' (to me) and 'tulee' (comes). It is very simple for basic needs like asking for water.
At the A2 level, you use 'tulla jano' to describe changes in your body. You can talk about the past ('minulle tuli jano') and the future ('minulle tulee jano'). It is important for daily life, like sports, weather, and eating. You understand that the person is in the -lla/-llä form.
B1 learners use 'tulla jano' in more complex sentences with conjunctions like 'koska' (because) or 'jos' (if). You can explain *why* you are getting thirsty, such as 'Minulle tulee jano, koska ilma on niin kuuma.' You also start to recognize it in different tenses and moods.
At B2, you use the phrase naturally in social situations. You might use it to suggest a break or to describe a sequence of events. You understand the nuance between 'tulla jano' (onset) and 'janottaa' (feeling). You can use it in more formal writing about health or lifestyle.
C1 mastery involves understanding the 'experiencer' logic of Finnish. You can analyze how 'tulla jano' fits into the wider system of Finnish state-change expressions. You use it effortlessly in idiomatic ways and understand its role in Finnish conversational pragmatics, such as using it as a polite hint.
At C2, you possess a near-native grasp of the cognitive linguistics behind the phrase. You recognize the subtle shift in agency where the human is the recipient of a sensation. You can play with the phrase in literature or creative writing, contrasting it with more archaic or highly colloquial forms like 'kurkkua kuivaa'.

Sauna thirst is a specific cultural phenomenon. It is socially acceptable and even expected to drink something refreshing (often mildly alcoholic or sparkling water) during and after sauna. Tap water is highly valued. If you say 'minulle tuli jano' in a Finnish home, the host will almost always offer you a glass of cold tap water immediately. Outdoor activities in winter can be deceptive. Even if it's cold, 'tulee jano' because the air is very dry. Finns always carry thermoses. In fitness culture, 'tulla jano' is seen as a positive sign of a good workout and proper metabolism.
