America's All Time Sweatiest Cities

Deodorant brand Old Spice has announced Top 20 America's All Time Sweatiest Cities.

Here is the ranking:

- Phoenix and Las Vegas are ranked 1st and 3rd. They are known for "dry heat" so it dries up quickly but, because of murderously heat, they are sweaty after all.

- Austin Tx is ranked 16th but, compared to other Texas cities (Houston, Dallas and San Antonio), because of dry heat, it is slightly less sweaty.

1. Phoenix, AZ
2. San Antonio, TX
3. Las Vegas, NV
4. Dallas, TX
5. Houston, TX
6. New Orleans, LA
7. Miami, FL
8. West alm Beach, FL
9. Tampa, FL
10. Orlando, FL
11. Memphis, TN
12. Tucson, AZ
13. El Paso, TX
14. Fort Myers, FL
15. Waco, TX
16. Austin, TX
17. Birmingham, AL
18. Shreveport, LA
19. Corpus Christi, TX
20. Mobile, AL

Below is 2008 ranking of Top 100 cities in term of sweatiness. While the ranking of sweatiest cities have not changed much, it is notable that cities in North Pacific such as San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are ranked "least" sweaty. One of the reason I chose to live in San Francisco is its "cold" summer. This ranking is quite convincing!

Anyway --- there are many retirees and migrants who move to Florida, Nevada and Arizona for sunny weather. But, they are all quite brutal place to live in summer time. While I write more negative news in California recently, in terms of weather, California's coastal weather beats every place on the earth!

Happy Investing!!!!
