Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent.

Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated.
