Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
