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.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Every year there's a new one: Most

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.

summer in San Francisco...
