St. Louis, MO – St. Louis residents are advised to prepare for a significant rise in temperatures this weekend, as a summer heatwave is expected to bring highs reaching the mid-90s. After a relatively mild workweek with daytime highs around the low 80s, the region will experience a sharp increase in temperatures starting Saturday, with highs between 88 and 92 degrees, and Sunday seeing temperatures climb even further to 94 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, this surge in temperature marks a return to summer-like conditions, urging residents to take necessary precautions if planning to spend time outdoors. The nights will offer little relief, with lows expected to remain in the 70s, which could lead to uncomfortable conditions without proper cooling measures.
The forecasted heatwave serves as a reminder for residents to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and ensure that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and pets, are adequately protected. The National Weather Service emphasizes the importance of being heat-aware, especially as the region heads into the weekend. Be prepared for these warmer temperatures and make adjustments to outdoor plans as necessary to stay safe and comfortable.
