Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat.
