Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
