3. I was in New Orleans last summer and couldn't walk a block w/o...
soaking through my shirt. I had to take a cab one block from my hotel to the convention center. Just wondering if I'm a freak or if that is normal. People around me seemed oblivious to the weather.

5. Lived in 100 degree, near 100% humidity for 2 years
Whenever I went outside, it felt just like I walked into a hot shower with my clothes on. I swore I would never subject myself to that hell again!

7. Pigs don't sweat...
I actually have a skin reaction from too much heat and humidity. Sucks that I live in Alabama.

12. I'm from Seattle
The only time I can stand humidity is when it's falling from the sky in the form of rain.

13. If you hate heat and humidity
stay away from Kyoto, Japan in August.

Tokyo heat is notorious, but after I came back from two August weeks in Kyoto (during which I thought my sweat glands would wear out), Tokyo actually felt refreshing.

The problem with Kyoto in the summer is that its in a basin, almost surrounded by mountains. Air does not move. It just condenses.
