Air conditioning won't be enough to cool down St. Louis in the near future, experts say
St. Louis' hotest days are projected to get hotter and more frequent. With air condition demand already at "unprecedented" levels, how long can the city stay cool?
Hasnain says:
“Looking at the projected heat increases for St. Louis, Hoffman said it will take a lot more than just air conditioning to keep the city cool. St. Louis and other cities across the country will have to mitigate heat, through increasing shade, green spaces and water features, while also managing heat by preparing for increased emergency room visits and establishing plans for water distribution and heat education materials.”
