Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity.

Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
