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

1.03K 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.

UK feels much hotter indoors as the houses are constructed to trap heat. And they have huge windows which causes a lot of greenhouse effect again trapping heat.
Outdoors it can be because the clothing bought in UK is again thicker knits to trap heat that causes heating. Or the high humidity. Could also be because UK closer to the poles the atmosphere is thinner, similar to the way the sun feels in the Himalayas.
