You Don't Need Me To Tell You That The Humidity Is Kicking Our Butts In Texas.

One summer I flew from Texas to Minnesota for a radio convention in the middle of June and I remember talking about how THANKFUL the folks in Minnesota had to be because they didn't have the humidity like we did. The best way to describe it is in PHOTO form.

The first photo shows what the temp was in Minneapolis before I got on the flight back to Texas and once I hit Austin, the HUMIDITY was SUFFOCATING and you can see the disgust on my face.

That's why its no surprise to me that 5 Texas cities makes up HALF of the Top 10 Most Humid Cities in America according to Today's Homeowner who gathered comprehensive data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on the humidity of each city in the U.S., then compiled that information to find the average annual humidity.
