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

1.09K 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.

Apart from the actual air temperature, it could be the sun making it feel hotter. India is much closer to equator than the UK and that would put the sun more directly overhead in India. Even if the air is the same temperature, more intense sun rays would make it “feel hotter” when standing in direct sun light.
