Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
