QUESTION OF THE DAY: How hot is too hot for you?

The heat wave that planted itself over our part of the country is here to stay for a few days.

This week, Mid-Missouri remains under an extreme heat warning issued by the National Weather Service. The high summer temperatures combined with heavy humidity have pushed the heat index into the triple digits.

It's a level that's dangerous for those without access to proper cooling and with certain health conditions. The conditions have led the ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Team to call a string of Weather Alert Days this week.

Mid-Missourians are used to hot, humid summers. But most could probably do without the kind of heat we've seen lately.

How hot is too hot for you? Let us know by voting in the poll.
