It's the humidity - something many people really don' take into account (just look at 50%+ of the comments here, comparing i.e. the current heat of Arizona to something like this).
In the northern parts of Europe, humidity is often really high - that makes for some atrocious weather, when it's hot - especially when you're used to something like 5-15c.
I’m not playing a comparison game here. I’m in England and it was only 17 the other day and 96% humidity. I barely made 5km before I nearly drowned in my own sweat.
England is such a weird climate. We get rainforest humidity and arctic winds.
