Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
