Well, you have to remember that any study, survey, or poll can be skewed in any way to present certain results. Those of you who have ever taken statistics, methods of research, research design, or anything close know that data can be manipulated or manufactured. I'm not saying this is the case here, I'm just saying it happens. We don't know the sample size, the parameters behind the results, and whole bunch of other goodies. My last thought, not only did Okiehoma place one city on the list, it placed another.

WHAT?!? Did you live anywhere near the gulf? Lord...I lived in Bay City which is about 80 miles SE of Houston and 40 miles inland from the coast. It is MAJORLY humid there, often 100%. Can't get more humid than that!

Definitely. Compared to North Carolina, Oklahoma has much drier air. From what I understand, the 100th meridian in Western Oklahoma is the farthest west that moist air from the Gulf of Mexico usually makes it. West of this line is dominated by the dry sinking air coming off the rockies. During the summer, this line shifts east into Eastern Oklahoma or Western Arkansas making way for Southwest winds, no humidity, and extremely hot temperatures (though a dry 115 is more tolerable than a humid 100).

According to "godaddy.com" the link you provided expired as of 6/23. Regardless, with the exception of the hideous heat, Oklahoma has much to offer and I'm proud to be a part of this great state.

Not to me it's so. I lived in both types with similar weather. And when temps get that high (115), dry or not, it feels like living inside a furnace. I think this it is purely subjective.

I was in El Reno about ten years ago on Labor day weekend when it hit 115, I'm telling you that was very hot! It was much hotter than a 100 humid June day. We had a toy life raft in the pool that was turned upside down with the black bottom exposed to the sun. After sitting there about an hour it exploded. I am not joking! Just waling form the pool to the trailer which was only about 200 ft seemed imposable. It felt like my hair was on fire.

My best friend spends summers in Tulsa. She says she loves it there, although she does complain about the heat, which she says hit 118 last year. So... I'm not surprised. Congrats Tulsa!
