Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
