Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
