Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
