Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases.
