Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
