Via Amblongus and Lasso, I see that El Paso has been named "America's Sweatiest City", and that El Pasoans are not happy about it. I don't claim to be an expert about this, but I'm scratching my head at the concept of a city with zero humidity being sweatier than Houston. Some time ago, the lead singer for the Mollys, a band out of Tucson, said "They say that living in Arizona is like living in an oven. True, but in my experience living in Houston must be like living in a dishwasher." Hard to argue with that if you ask me.

It's too dry to sweat very much and when it is humid, it isn't hot. And unlike much of Texas, swamp coolers work great. I recall getting on an airplane in 75 degree El Paso and geting off in 75 degree Dallas and I damn near suffocated.
