Heat index values hold particular importance for 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 human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation.
