Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down.
