Why does 65 in Southern California feel so much hotter than the 65 in the Midwest I grew up in?

Question

So far, this close to normal summer heat for everyone, we keep getting weather in the 65-70 range. But thing is that it *feels* like the 80s I’m used to getting in the summer when I’m in sunshine. In the Midwest, when I’d get 65-70s weather, it would be in the spring in March or April usually and it’s been consistently that temperature here. I’ve noticed here, we’ll get 70 degrees with a UV Index of 10 or 11, is that why?

Hotter? In CA, people are wearing puffy winter jackets when it’s 65 and complaining about how cold it is. In Seattle, 65 is shirts off BBQ at the park warm summer weather.
