Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
