Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
