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.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
