Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.

When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
