In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
