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 body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
