Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat.

When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
