How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Felipe Ángeles International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU/MMSM) the live call is landing 04C+04L+04R, departure 04C+04L with METAR wind CALM. 04C shows 0.0 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and calm crosswind (0.0 kt). 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 MMSM threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
