Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
