Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent.

Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
