Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
