ELi5: So this is probably a weird one. But why does 25°C feel hotter in NZ than Australia.

Question

I’m in New Zealand. My good friend is in Melbourne.

In the part of New Zealand I’m in, we’ve had some really got days. Like, not coping, many cases of heat stroke etc.

Whereas, heat like that is more normal for him. Is there a reason that 25°c is hotter here in NZ than Australia?
