Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
