Okay, please explain why Phoenix is #9 and Las Vegas isn't even on the list.

there must not be a whole lot of difference between #1 and #13, i've lived in both san antonio and Atlanta and i can tell you, atlanta is about as hot and sweaty as they come. especially during the rainy seasons. humidity in atlanta is killer and that's what in my opinion makes it worse than pheonix which has the higher temperatures.

 

[Lucky]

yeah i dont agree with it either. houston was worse than san antonio IMO.

 

[charrison]

I would have to say New Orleans deserves the #1 rank. The times i have visited there, i have definatly sweated more than when I am at home in San Antonio.

 

[Rallispec]

#20 w00t

 

[CraigRT]

isn't Phoenix the city that is like always over 100 degrees? every time i watch the weather channel the highest temperature is in Phoenix. almost every single time.. that has to be the warmest city in the United States from what I have seen... no?

crazy..

 

[Boogak]

Las Vegas probably isn't on the list due to its low humidity level, the so called "dry heat".
Woohoo, I'm #2!!

 

[heat23]

Austin, TX isnt even on there?!? if u go within 3 feet of a window or front door of ur house u start sweating! thats how hot it is

yes i do agree, new orleans should be #1

 

[GrumpyMan]

In August, Houston should be #1.

 

[luv2chill]

San Francisco is # 50? Whatever!!! SF is usually 50-60 degrees and foggy. I realize it's at the bottom of the list but shouldn't some place like Honolulu be on the list instead?

[aphex]

Go Florida!!!!!

(aphex smells his pits)

 

[notfred]

San Francisco, and Barrow ALASKA, but not Las Vegas? that's one innaccurate list.

 

[CSMOOTH]

That list is a load of crap. I live in Hawaii and went to college in San Francisco. How are you gonna sweat in San Francisco. With all the fog, the only sweating that is going on is when you have too many layers of clothes on or if you are inside with the heat turned on too high. I say any city in Hawaii would make you sweat 10 times more than anything that SF has to offer.

 

[Dulanic]

You guys didnt seem to notice they also took into account the average weight and stuff of people in thoose cities too. Humidity is a HUGE factor also, hence why Las Vegas isnt on there... I wasnt sweating when I was in Las Vegas and it was 95... however I sweat like crazy here in Chicago alot when its 85 cause its so damned humid alot.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Houston got robbed.

How could I possibly sweat more down here?

 

[tokamak]

I live in the area of #2. Matter of fact, its about 95 and rising and humid here right now, and i'm about to go mow 2 yards. looks like i'll be adding to the total
