Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
