In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
