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

1.10K 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.

Not UK but my first summer in the US was close to the Niagara and I felt very similar. Low to mid 30s and felt that skin burn.

Though you have experienced worse, it is the acclimatizing to the locale that your body is learning. Also your second winter will be worse than your first.

Your tolerance to heat also reduces after a while in these lower temp climates so when you go back to an Indian summer, it’s going to be just as bad.
