Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
