Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
