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 notice the same thing here in Arizona. When we go up to the mountains (6200 ft elevation) from Phoenix (1000ft elevation), the temps will drop 25 degrees but the sun will feel more intense on my skin.
Fairly certain that’s because of the UV index. Compare that index in the UK on a hot day your skin feels burning with India’s UV index.
