I don't care, I still like the "River Walk".

[Cagey]

Rush, now we know the answer to that infamous question "WhyisaTexasgirlinPA?".

[Blue Screen of Death]

On a typical summer day, San Antonio residents lose more than 1 liter of perspiration per hour during exercise such as walking, the announcement said.

Texans sweat in quarts. Yankees sweat in "liters".

What an honor </ sarcasm off

[Skooz]

They obviously have not visited Alexandria, La. during the summer. It has all the heat of San Antonio and twice the humidity.

In new orleans, I really can't drink enough water and gatorade during the summer.

So I search for the article, nothing. I start posting it and in the meanwhile you beat me to it.

[PhiKapMom]

Excuse me to the writer of this article but I used to live outside of San Antonio in the Texas Hill Country and I will guarantee anyone that when you step out of a car in San Antonio at 100 degrees it is hot, but nothing compared to Houston and New Orleans. Been there done that -- drove from SA to Houston and when we got out of the car we could not believe the humidity there compared to San Antonio -- was much higher and seemed much hotter.

[anymouse]

It's not the heat, it's the humidity that gets you. ;)

You know it is hot when your extra-strength anti-perperant, left in your car, melts.

You have to be tough to be a Texan. :)

[Stand Watch Listen]

That's easy...any city Al Gore is in.

[El Sordo]

Whoa.

I grew up in the barren lands of Eastern Washington. My idea of high humidity is 30%.

[FreeTally]

Oh, come on. Texas can not compete with areas of extremely high humidity like Florida, Louisiana or Mississippi. I'll take Texas heat anyday over what we have here in the panhandle of Florida. Typical day in June-September: High temperature of 95-99, with humidity of 60% to 100%. Heat index correlates to a temperature of 105-115 degrees.

In a related story, my wife recently named me "Sweatiest Husband".

Perspiration ain't sweat, my friend. No matter how hot it gets, with low dew points San Antonio will never be as sweaty as New Orleans -- the only city on the list that's effectively surrounded by a shallow pool of warm water.

I think Procter & Gamble's marketing people ate a few too many peppers at El Mercado and thought it was the city that made them so sweaty. It is plenty hot all over Texas but add 98% humidity to a 98* day and you have New Orleans.

[rustbucket]

Houston trumps San Antonio and Dallas as the hottest when humidity is included. The hill country can actually be quite pleasant on a summer evening.

I grew up in the Houston area without air conditioning and have also lived in the northeast (NJ, MA). I would take Houston weather any day over frigid northern winters and springs that would never come. Winters are pretty tolerable in Houston by comparison. Weather was one of the reasons I moved back to Houston and so many Yankees move south when they retire.

I think there was an episode of the CHEERS TV show where the people at the bar were arguing about what was the Sweatiest movie of all time....I think they may have decided it was Spartacus or Cool Hand Luke.

[jejones]

Here in Des Moines, I wish I could lose the perspiration...instead, it just hangs around.

The list was released on Thursday by Procter & Gamble's Old Spice Red Zone deodorant, apparently in a sweat to produce some first-day-of-summer publicity.

This is a totally invalid study. It was done by "Big Sweat".
