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.

Simple acclimatization. You go somewhere and live there a while, you get used to it. I was stationed in the desert a few years, got used to living in that blast furnace like greeting every time I opened the door.
I went home and it was like 80 out on a late spring day, and I was shivering a bit. Took me a while to get used to 80 being warm again when it was already in the mid 90s with zero cloud cover where I’d left.
It’s the same reason why I’ll see people at the mall in tee shirts on the first 60 degree day of spring, but in the first 60 degree day of fall those same people will be in hoodies or jackets.
