Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
