Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels.

Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
