Heat index values remain especially vital for 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature.

Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
