How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Singapore Changi 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 Singapore Changi Airport (SIN/WSSS) the live call is landing 02C+02L+02R, departure 02C+02L with METAR wind 40° @ 8 kt. 02C shows 7.7 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 2.3 kt crosswind from the right. 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 WSSS threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
