Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
