Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
