The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion.

Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
