Why does 25° feel hotter in the UK than in India?

1.09K viewsOther

I am from India,who has shifted to the UK. It’s been 3-4 years, however UK summers feel unbearable compared to Indian summers. My skin feels like it’s burning at 25° in the UK but 25° in India is so much more pleasant. I understand that it’s closer to the sun since the earth is slightly tilted, but make it make sense that my skin burns while in the UK, but I’m just really sweaty in India, without the burning sensation.

25°C feels hotter in the UK because of the difference in humidity and how your body adapts. In the UK, higher humidity means sweat doesn’t evaporate as quickly, making you feel hotter. In India, you might be used to higher temperatures, and the body adjusts, making 25°C feel more comfortable.
