Can you guess what city has the title for the sweatiest spot in America? Old Spice used a computer model to determine amount of sweat an average person would produce walking around in cities during the Summer months last year.

If you guessed Phoenix you win. It may be "dry heat" out there but with an average high temperature of 95 degrees in June through August the average person pumps out 26.4 ounces of sweat. That is equivalent to more than two cans of soda. Las Vegas comes in second followed by Tallahassee. San Francisco is the nation's least sweaty city with an average temperature of 63.5 degrees. Austin comes in at 23. We would be higher if we did not have one of the coolest Summers last year thanks to all the rain. Here is the Top 10.

1. Phoenix
2. Las Vegas
3. Tallahassee
4. Tucson
5. Memphis
6. Miami
7. Houston
8. Tampa
9. Baton Rouge
10. Fort Myers

18. Dallas
20.Corpus Christi
21.El Paso (There is no way they are in front of Austin.)
22.Waco
23. Austin
28. San Antonio
In my opinion, I think Houston should be number 1.
What do you think?

Whoa, hang on there. I know you're the weatherman but El Paso IS hotter than Austin. Granted Austin temp feels worse due to the heat index, but El Paso's dry heat really makes you sweat. When you walk outside the heat absorbed & held by all the pavement in addition to the sun rays it gets HOT. Whereas in Austin you just feel mucky & sticky. In El Paso you just SWEAT.
