You're correct. San Antonio's humidity doesn't compare to Houston's. I've done the Riverwalk in summer and lived in Houston 30 years.
San Antone has the title-- but Texans know better!

Darn tootin! I live in the Metroplex, and we're having a mild summer so far. (Forget the calendar - summer starts in May around here!)
I'll never forget my first summertime visit to Houston...it was for a state bowling tournament. This bowling center had an airlock-type system, i.e. two sets of doors. I'll never forget that first venture into the 'airlock'. Whooooweee! I went from cool air conditioned comfort to 95 degrees & 95% humidity in a nanosecond.
Houston definitely gets my vote!

"San Antone has the title-- but Texans know better!" There is a reason why we all know Houston as "Sweat City". The title is earned...

Thinking about the article, it doesn't even make sense to put a city in the south center of the State of Texas as #1 when Houston sits on the coast. Not to mention, the Texas Hill Country where there is always a breeze and cooler in the shade is 22 miles up I-10 starting in Boerne where I lived. The Riverwalk is always nice IMHO!
Have been at Fiesta Texas and Astroworld in the middle of summer and there is no comparison -- Astroworld won hands down for hot and humid!
