Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature.
