I was just visiting Tokyo and Osaka for the first time during summer season, and my god was it hot! I was actually not that surprised by the heat and humidity per say, but by the intensity of the sunshine, considering I was coming from PH, the sun in Japan somehow stronger.

You are a lot further north in JP, so in the summer months Japan is literally closer to the sun.

That kinda makes sense. However, in my home country (Finland), which is further north I think, the sun is quite gentle in the summer season.

Ah, well then you start talking about the difference in the surrounding oceans, winds, humidity, etc. the significant change in longitude comes into play there.
