New York Today: Water Weather

 

Demetrius Freeman/The New York Times Remember this? You may need to find novel ways on Thursday to cool off.

Today the temperature continues to climb.
It is expected to reach 87 degrees, still a far cry from that scorching stretch of July.
When it gets hot, New Yorkers get soaked. Behold, the beloved park spray shower.
Back in 1926, children cooled off in grand fashion: they dove off a City Hall statue into the fountain below.
But their high dives were officially banned after one boy hit his head in the shallow pool, according to an  article in The New York Times from that year.
Women of old New York seemed to have an even harder time cooling off.
An 1889 Times article described their favored (and likely sweltering) swimming get-up: a bodysuit with a blouse and a skirt over top.
Or, perhaps, a flannel top and a skirt, the writer said, complete with “equestrian tights, made with feet, the latter being of extra heavy weave.”
Here’s what you need to know for your Thursday.
