Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity.

Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
