Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
