Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity.

Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
