Heat index values hold great significance to children. 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.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
