On a warm Thursday in New York, with temperatures hitting 88°F, many locals ditched work to enjoy a much-awaited sunny day at the beach. Beachgoers flocked to Coney Island and local parks, relishing the summer vibes after a long stretch of grey weather. Mariah and Joseph, who took time off from their banking and education jobs, noted the allure of people-watching over responsibilities. Young Toronto tourist Kaiya was surprised by the flexible attitude of New Yorkers toward weather-based time off, contrasting it with the more rigid Canadian approach to work and leisure.
The political science student was surprised that other sunbathers, like Mariah and Joseph, had skipped a day of work to enjoy the weather.
It's been rainy, muggy. You don't know what to wear. It was drizzling and never stopped.
It's perfect weather for the beach, said Mariah S., about time.
You're allowed to take the day off from work cause it's sunny? I never heard of that before.
