Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
