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

1.06K 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.

I am Canadian. Canadians can often be spotted because they will be wearing summer clothes when everyone else is still in light sweaters because the Canadians either just finished winter or are in the middle of one in Canada.

I now live in the Tropics and what I consider nice is at a far higher temperature now than I would have considered nice before. Temperature variability and acclimatization highly affects your perception of temperature.
