A study conducted by HouseMethod.com states that five out of the top 10 most humid cities in the United States are right here in Texas. Researchers pulled weather data from 300 cities across the U.S. for the discovery.

Here’s what they found:

  • Brownsville, Texas (#4)
  • Port Arthur, Texas (#5)
  • Victoria, Texas (#6)
  • Corpus Christi, Texas (#9)
  • Houston, Texas (#10)

Surprisingly, although some Houstonians attribute the increasing, feels-like temps to the humidity, Space City ranked #10 on the list.
