Warmest month (Mean) in St Louis was July 2012: 88.1F/31.2C. Average max that month was 37.0C (July 1901, and 1936 are both very close)

Ugh. Those two awful months. The National Arboretum, away from the moderation of the Potomac, was 0.4F warmer for an average max in July 2011, and went up to 94.6F (34.8C) in July 1999.
Also STL has seen a few tornadoes touch down within city limits; D.C. only one.
