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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
