City Sweat


Summer time can get very hot, especially in cities where alot of people in close proximity can all contribute to the sweat factor. What are the sweatiest cities in the United States? In the chart above, we show the population density on the x axis and the total population on the y axis. The points are cities and the color is proportional to how how on average July gets. From this perspective, New York is the sweatiest cities having both a large population with a large population density as well as a warm July temperature of 83 (compared to San Francisco at 68).
