On my first trip abroad to Spain, I got heatstroke - I walked around in a vest, with no sunscreen and it was around 30C. Big mistake. The strength of the sun was something new to me more than the heat, which isn't an unfamiliar temperature. This was around 40 degrees North. I can handle it now without any issues though, but I've yet to go much further south than that so I'm not sure how I'd react to heat at 25 degrees North.

Don't you mean you got sunburned? Sunburn has nothing to do with temperature, it's caused by UV radiation. It's easier to get burned in cold, high altitude (= less atmosphere above you, increases UV intensity) places with snow (= lots of reflected light off the snow, increases UV intensity) than in warm lowlands at the same latitude.
A sunny place high in the mountains somewhere near the equator, preferably in the southern hemisphere (the southern hemisphere has significantly stronger UV in summer than the northern hemisphere at the same latitudes), is probably the biggest hell in this respect.

That sounds amazing to me. I walked around Rome in 90 degree weather with a sweater on. Just shows how we vary in our heat tolerance.

) summers with a moderated 4 season climate I like.
