Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth.

Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
