I find this article creepy. the implication is that some marketing goon is out there collecting and tabulating people's bodily fluid secretions (and, uh, how is this done exactly?)

What about Cool Hand Luke? Or Papillion? Come on, THAT'S SWEAT!

Too late to matter, but: dry heat makes you sweat, too. The difference is that in a nice dry heat, your sweat actually works -- it runs pleasantly over you and evaporates quickly and creates the cooling effect it's supposed to, and so it actually feels kinda great to be all sweaty.

Whereas sweat in humid spots just kind of bubbles to the surface of your skin and sits there feeling disgusting -- I assume because the air is already too saturated with moisture for your sweat to evaporate quickly off of you. You wind up wetter and more disgusting but not actually so much cooler.

xpost this is true. I went to Florida a couple of months ago and it was horrendous(schlepping around amusement parks did not help). I'd take five 110 degree California days over one 90 degree Florida day.

this is why Houston deserves to be top of this list always and forever!

Cleveland's relative humidity this morning was 94%. The mildew in my bathroom is growing mold on it.

i've lived in phoenix and tucson and i'll gladly take a 110 degree day there over a 90 degree day in the midwest or the south.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd take a 111 degree day there over an 89 degree day in ... nevermind.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

an 89 degree day....in... your clogged colon?

Fuck you Phoenix, I think El Paso should win! (It being the area hub of commerce & culture and less than an hour aay from yours truly.)

SWEAT

I like the way that those cheap fucks (old spice) make up blogworthy marketing bullshit in exchange for their prize of! a year's supply to the fucking mayor. That's $36 right there.

LEMONADE. WHY LEMONADE?

― Jesse, Friday, 25 July 2008 03:10 (fifteen years ago) link

That's

the average Phoenix resident produced .76 liters of sweat per hour during a typical summer day in 2004 (more than two 12-ounce glasses of lemonade, and almost 6 glasses of Vitamin D enriched whole milk).

― Jesse, Friday, 25 July 2008 03:12 (fifteen years ago) link

ok i don't know about any sweaty cities but my own: NYC better not be too humid today :/

― Surmounter, Friday, 25 July 2008 14:10 (fifteen years ago) link

sweating doesn't count if it evaporates right away

― El Tomboto, Friday, 25 July 2008 14:22 (fifteen years ago) link

right? maybe the average human body loses more fluids via sweat glands while in Phoenix than anywhere else, but I don't see how New Orleans and Houston and maybe somewhere in FLA without anything resembling a sea breeze doesn't round out the top 5 of "sweatiest cities"

corpus christi TX OTM. I was there back in early May and walked out of my hotel about 8 in the morning and was all "WTF, did I spill juice on me at breakfast??"

nope. humidity.

The rain yesterday made the walk to the bus stop this morning pretty miserable. But for a few wonderful hours last night, walking was more like walking than swimming!
