However going into Melbourne late at night it’s not uncommon to be landing with 20kts crosswind and 5kts tail wind on a 2300m runway because they are only using 34 for departures NE....🙄

Having said all that - I acknowledge that the arrival rates are determined the evening prior based on a forecast, so essentially the damage is done then.

It wasn’t uncommon to see 120 minute COBT delays today - not fun for anyone.
