Here are the METAR weather observations at BGY (LIME) from just before the flights scheduled arrival until the end of the day:

It looks like thunderstorms were the culprit.
Thank you. Yes, I overheard that someone was talking about the aircraft at MXP. Thunderstorms were observed the day before (19th) but I did not see any bad weather on that date. The thing is that no staff updated us at the gate (the gate changed at boarding, which was not told at all!), so frustrating.

So, this means the delay was due to the adverse weather (thunderstorms)?
