Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
