Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
