⚠ Why children are at higher risk
Children's bodies overheat faster and cool down slower than adults. They absorb more heat relative to body mass, sweat less efficiently, and cannot always recognise or communicate distress. Heat stress in children can escalate to heat stroke within minutes — and under age 5, the risk is highest.
