Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
