Impacts And Local Resources
Humidity paired with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s will make things feel pretty sticky, so drink plenty of water and work in some shade breaks if you are spending time outside. If the heat or storms throw off your plans, you can find a list of community cooling centers on the City of St. Louis and call ahead for hours and availability.
