Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity.

Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate.

Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
