Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
