See, a lot of people are saying variations of this. And that's fine. I agree.

The thing is, it's not at ALL what I usually hear, when this topic comes up.

Usually, it's a bunch of unhinged rambling, about how New York's heat bubble is more effective, or something about the tall buildings funneling the heat through the urban canyons, or something about the air from the subway, etc. Oh, and there's ALWAYS some shit about humidity, as if New York City is somehow more humid than Houston.

It's not. They're both on the fucking water. Humidity is humidity. Water in the air. We get it. NYC doesn't have special water.

EDIT: I mean, maybe not "special water" in a good sense. It's probably got more rat droppings and leftover heroin residue from the 1970s than you'll find in Houston. At least by a little bit.

Seattle is humid but never sticky or uncomfortable. Dew point matters kids!

Not yet. But climate change is a seven-titted demon bitch.
