Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down.

Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
