Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
