Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers.

And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
