Heat index values are extremely vital 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
