Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
