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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
