With Missouri experiencing 90+ degree weather this week, it’s good to know where to go to get cool. The state of Missouri has prepared a map of cooling stations where people can get out of the heat.

Other tips for keeping cool are to stay out of the sun between 11 am-2 pm, drink lots of water, dress in loose-fitting clothes, use cold washcloths, eat cold foods and avoid alcohol, and if indoors, block out the sun by using curtains or shades. Stay cool!
