Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
