How come when it's 30 degrees abroad it's lovely, but when it's 30 degrees in the uk, it's unbearable?

When I've been abroad and it's been 30-40 degrees, I can walk around, relax and enjoy the hot weather but when I'm in the UK, and it's this weather, it's a different kind of heat in a way. I'm sweating when I step outside, I can't sleep, and it's just unbearable. If it's the same degree of heat, why is it different?
