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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
