Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation.
