Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
