Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature.
