Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
