    Report Names 'Sweatiest' U.S. City
    Fri Jun 21,10:20 AM ET

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - Every year there's a new one: Most livable U.S. city, friendliest city, town with the best manners. Now comes the first annual sweatiest city award.

    Top honors go to San Antonio, Texas.

    On a typical summer day, San Antonio residents lose more than 1 liter of perspiration per hour during exercise such as walking, the announcement said.

    Dallas-Ft. Worth, New Orleans, Houston and West Palm Beach, Florida, fleshed out the top five sweatiest cities.

    The list was released on Thursday by Procter & Gamble's Old Spice Red Zone deodorant, apparently in a sweat to produce some first-day-of-summer publicity.

    It was based, the announcement said, on the average high temperature and humidity during June, July and August in the 50 cities reviewed. Based on this the company estimated the sweat produced by walking one hour each day.

    "Although some view sweat as embarrassing, it is necessary to keep the body cool," said Mark Davis, described as a perspiration expert for Old Spice, which said it is sending the mayor of San Antonio a case of its Red Zone.

    The five least sweaty cities were in order: Barrow, Alaska, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego and Los Angeles.

    That sounds right -- MAN it gets hot there. Hotter than Houston. In Houston, there is so much humidity, and the heat kindof lingers in this extremely uncomfortable way.

    In San Antonio, it's just HOT. The sun is so absurdly intense, and its heat just permeates everything. It's like living in a blow-torch.

    <i><b>24. Albuquerque/Santa Fe, NM </b></i>

    That's just gay. I live in ABQ and I barely sweat outside while doing various activities. We get about 90 degreee weather, 5% relative humidity. Maybe they take into consideration how many "fat people" we have around town sweating off their pounds while walking through downtown. ABQ is actually perfect weather.



    SA wasn't that bad when I tavel there. Where do they get this info from?

    I would think MIAMI FLORIDA is the worst. That place SUCKS.

    How can San Diego and LA be below a lot of midwestern and northern cities? Does the sweat there automatically go into some special water filtration system and thus doesn't count?
