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.
I've heard many theories about what is responsible for the record-breaking heat many parts of Illinois has experienced this summer, but this one takes the cake. Why have you felt so miserable over the past few weeks? Experts claim it's because Illinois corn is sweating and I'm not even making that up.
The good news is the current heat wave baking Missouri will get give us a break by the weekend. The bad news is we're not there yet and there are reports that the power grid is being strained with at least one city utility reporting the possibility of outages.
We already knew that a heat wave was incoming for Missouri and much of the Midwest early next week, but now the National Weather Service is sounding the alarm that temperatures and the heat index are now expected to rise to dangerous levels.
It appears that summer is about to reach its hottest moments of the year this next week as Missouri residents are being warned to prepare for three days of dangerous heat by forecasters.
It's like watching two worlds collide. A new list of the Illinois places that have the hottest average temperatures also includes an infamous place that has been declared among the most abandoned towns in America, too.
I'm not a lawyer or any kind of legal expert, but I will say that many laws and regulations don't use common sense in my opinion. This is a great example. Do you think that Missouri landlords should be required to provide you air conditioning? The answer is more complicated than it needs to be.
It's not breaking news that you can expect summer to be hot in Missouri, but there are forecasts that seem to agree that the state may be about to start one of the warmest in history and it also might be one of the stormiest, too.
