Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels.

Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
