At Yangon International Airport (RGN/VYYY) the live call is landing and departure 03 with METAR wind 40° @ 2 kt. 03 shows 2.0 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 VYYY threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
