Super Sweaty

Phoenix has been dubbed the sweatiest U.S. city in the 7th annual poll conducted by Old Spice. Phoenix's average temperature was 95.1 degrees in June, July and August, 2007, living up to its nickname of "Valley of the Sun." Here's the top ten:

  1. Phoenix, Arizona
  2. Las Vegas, Nevada
  3. Tallahassee, Florida
  4. Tucson, Arizona
  5. Memphis, Tennessee
  6. Miami, Florida
  7. Houston, Texas
  8. Tampa, Florida
  9. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
  10. Fort Myers, Florida

 

Want more? Sure you do:

  • Each resident in Phoenix produces 26.4 ounces of sweat an hour -- enough to fill two cans of soda.
  • On a typical summer day, residents of Los Angeles, the city with the most cars on the road in the nation, can collectively produce enough sweat to fill the gas tanks of 27,667 SUVs in just one hour.
  • Living up to its nickname, the Sunshine State has four cities appearing in the top 10, more than any other state. Collectively, they produce enough sweat to fill Shamu's tank in 9.9 hours. (That's 6.5 million gallons)
  • When taking a look at which region produces the most sweat, that honor overwhelmingly goes to the South, where residents can collectively produce 3,634,581 gallons in just one hour on a typical summer day.
  • San Francisco is the nation's least sweaty city included on the list, coming in at number 100. Yet even with an average temperature of just 63.5 degrees during the summer months, each San Franciscan can still produce over 17 ounces of sweat per hour.

Having lived in a number of cities in different areas of the country, I have found that it doesn't matter how much you sweat, what matters is how quickly the sweat evaporates. The evaporation is what cools a person off. The ancients of the middle east knew this thousands of years ago. It also is what makes the evaporative cooler work ( in dry climates only).
