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 UK has much higher humidity than many parts of India, especially regions that have a dry season.
Humidity plays a significant role in how hot it feels. Higher humidity makes it feel hotter because it hampers the body’s ability to cool itself through sweating.
There could also be a case of acclimatization as the average temperatures in the UK are generally lower throughout the year.
