The low cloud ceiling was the issue and thats why they were apparently unable to conduct an ILS approach down to landing. Not a question of raw data but the fact that with the low ceilings they needed to conduct an auto land and with the failures on board they were unable to do that and hence were looking for a place to approach where the ceiling was better so that they could possibly sight the runway at minima and continue to a safe landing.
