Phoenix is dry heat - sweat evaporate fast
Hot+humid cities with 77+ dewpoints aren't uncommon should be considered most sweaty

WTF to Los Angeles being way down there near the bottom?
We are very hot year round.

[spencer114]

[srfoskey]

Average JJA temp in Sacramento: 73.8 F
Average JJA temp in DC: 77.7 F

DC is more summery.

Yes. I think it's a big enough difference it's not really an opinion. Add in the higher dewpoints creating higher heat indicies and the gap is larger.

I guess since some people have a knee-jerk reaction to summer=dry they try and say Sacramento is more summery.

No way lol. The humid heat in the east feels much worse. Sacramento is a cakewalk.
