Cooling Centers to Beat the Heat in the St. Louis Area
We'll help you find a place to chill when the temperatures are through the roof this week, leading into Labor Day weekend.
Our partners at Fox2 give us this report on the weather this week: "Hot and humid summertime weather rolls on for the St. Louis region. A few clouds and 94°-95° for a high Monday afternoon. The above normal temperatures will be around through the Labor Day Holiday with little chance of rain."
With that, we offer you these locations (see the interactive map above) for spots around the region where you can cool down if your home, for some reason, isn't an option.
The locations on the map above are drawn from a database of cooling centers throughout Missouri, compiled by the state's Data Portal, a collection of public records and databases.
The 110 locations listed on this map span locations in St. Charles, St. Louis and Jefferson counties, as well as the city of St. Louis.
Click on any of the dots on the map to see the address, phone number and hours of operation for each location. You can also use the map tools on the left to zoom in or out of the map, or to move the map from side to side or up and down.
