Heat index values are quite important 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 body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
