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

1.05K 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.

Accumulation to the local climate.
No, the sun isn’t hotter up north, nor the humidity much higher in the UK compared to India (lol)

First, you experience a much colder weather in the UK, so your body becomes accumulated to being in that temperature range. So, a 25c outdoor temp will shock your body when you are used to 10~18c temp.

If you were living in India for a while and decided to travel to the UK, even if it was 25C outside, you won’t feel as hot, as you are accumulated to India’s temps
