Today may the hottest day of the summer: parts of the St. Louis metropolitan area will reach 100 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The temperature doesn’t factor in the heat index — what it really feels like. That will push the mercury to 104-108 degrees.

The record high for June 22 in St. Louis was 102 degrees and happened in 1930.
