Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
