YOU MIGHT SWEAT MORE IN PHOENIX, BUT YOU SUFFER MORE IN MIAMI
The Cleveland-based personal products company Proctor & Gamble released the results of it's fifth annual study to determine the Sweatiest City in America. While Phoenix, Arizona recieved the dubious title for the third time, it also made note that Miami tops the list as Most Uncomfortable City in America because of it's high summertime temperatures combined with the typical high humidity in the South Florida city.
The study found that the Phoenixian of average height and weight produced 26 ounces walking around for an hour in the city's average high temperature (93.3 degrees F) during June, July, and August. However, although Miami has a lower average high temperature (83.9 degrees F) during the same period, the humidity was much higher --- 76 percent in Miami compared with 22 percent in Phoenix --- meaning that the sweat evaporates quickly in the Arizona capital's dry air, so one doesn't notice as much as in Miami.
So in just under three hours, Phoenix residents collectively produced enough sweat to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, according to Jay Gooch, a sweat expert for the Proctor & Gamble antiperspirant brand Old Spice.
Doesn't that just make you wanna go swimming for an hour or two???
