Comments: It's official: Statue of Liberty crown will reopen July 4
The National Parks Service said they often closed it in the summer months on days when the temperature was too high. The 2004 report about safety issues notes "Heat can be oppressive in summer months (up to 20 degrees higher than outside temperature)."
See this story for more info/history about why it was closed: http://www.newyorkology.com/archives/2006/05/why_is_the_stat.php
