Sweat City

Post by XMEN Gambit »

From a CNN story:<br><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><br>El Paso, Texas, with average summer temperatures above 93 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity over 70 percent, is the sweatiest city in the United States, a study released on Tuesday found.<br><br>Research scientist Tim Long calculated heat indexes and relative humidity levels to come up with his top 100 sweatiest cities in America list.<br><br>By Long's calculations, in just four hours, El Paso's residents produce enough sweat to fill an Olympic swimming pool, with individuals shedding more than 36 fluid ounces of perspiration an hour.<br><br>"The driving force is heat, but humidity is a key factor," said Long. "It can feel like 118 in El Paso but it's only 94."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
