At Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK/ZJHK) the live call is landing and departure 10+09 with METAR wind 80° @ 14 kt. 10 shows 13.8 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 2.4 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 ZJHK threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
