I have this exact thing, and am also from a very hot place- South Australia. I don't have a Vit D deficiency and have no apparent nutritional deficiencies at all and have had this headache type since childhood. In summer I get headaches near every day from the heat in general, even indoors, but the severe ones happen from direct sun exposure. As you say it only takes a couple minutes, or for me, sometimes seconds. I have had to put a shade cloth over the washing line so I can hang out the clothes without getting too overheated on the head. It's sun on the top of my head, even very briefly, that does it and the headache is much less treatable afterwards than one from dehydration, and will often worsen over time and I will wake up with it. I take 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen simultaneously and that only dulls it, rather than fully removing it.
