Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
