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.

The sun stays longer in the sky at a lower angle the further north you get. It doesn’t really get actually hotter, but you’re exposed to direct sunlight for a longer period of time during the day. In India and other places closer to the equator the sun is mostly at a higher angle, meaning that buildings, hats, trees and other obstacles create more efficient shade.
