At Marseille Provence Airport (MRS/LFML) the live call is landing and departure 31R with METAR wind 270° @ 3 kt. 31R shows 2.2 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 2.1 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every LFML threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
