What is the hottest day of the year in Missouri? That depends on what part of the state you live in, plus there's another wildcard factor this year, too.
It's not exactly breaking news that it gets hot in Missouri in July, but there's a new warning from forecasters that the month will start out even hotter than normal based on a new outlook that's just been released.
The first heat-related death has been confirmed in Missouri when a 55-year-old woman was found after she had no air conditioning or water for at least 3 days.
The timing of this prediction is ironic. Just as Missouri has experienced what might be the coldest few days of the year, a self-proclaimed time traveler is predicting the state will experience the hottest week in history this July.
This just in. It's very hot in Missouri right now, but it's hotter in some places more than others. Safe to say the 30 hottest places in the state based on average temperature likely feel like they're on fire right now.
