The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone
āļøš¤ itās because the further you move toward the earthās poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sunās radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.
Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesnāt get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.
Itās not the heat. It very literally is the sun.
