New York Climate

Humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. LGA is one of the most disruption-prone major US airports. A combination of weather (nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, winter ice) and congested airspace drives delays year-round. Summer (June–August) afternoon thunderstorms cause frequent ground delays and can back up the eastern seaboard for hours.

Winter (December–February) brings snow and freezing rain events, with −5–4°C averages. Nor'easters typically cause 1–2 significant cancellation events per season. Spring and autumn are the most operationally stable periods. Connections through LGA require buffer time to absorb accumulated delays.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
