Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
