Having had a quick look via a GIS I concur.

There were also heavy showers, poor vis with 7 Octa's, and they had nil effective braking due to aquaplaning. IIRC there may have been a tailwind component as well. Making no comment on this approach/landing whatsoever, but the conditions are quite different.
