'We need to go to the toilet': due to bad weather in New York, people are stuck on planes and airports
Due to a storm with wind force up to 60 miles (97 km) per hour and hail, the National Weather Service informed most of New York State about a severe thunderstorm. Bad weather caused delays in the airports of New York and New Jersey.
The weather affected the work of all three major airports in the region. On Monday morning, June 3, in Newark, for example, the delays averaged about three hours.
In La Guardia, the situation was no better. Flights were delayed by about 2 hours 40 minutes.
At JFK airport, delays lasted a little less than 2 hours, much to the dismay of travelers.

“@JFKairport @lufthansa #LH405 delayed by 2 hours... how are we supposed to get to our flights after connecting? Insane delay with no logical reason,” he tweeted.
The official JFK Twitter account explained the stormy weather delays.
“Abhijeet, we had severe thunderstorms in the area this evening. This caused delays that lasted throughout the evening. We apologize for the inconvenience,” the airport responded on Twitter.
