Here's the Wx for AMS:

------- EHAM / AMS / AMSTERDAM

EHAM SA 310955Z MET
24022KT 9999 FEW014 BKN048 12/09 Q1003 NOSIG=
EHAM FC 310840Z TAF
311019 24025G35KT 9999 SCT035 BECMG 1619 24018KT=
EHAM FT 310425Z TAF
311206 25023G33KT 9999 SCT012 BKN020 BECMG 1417 23016KT
BECMG 2201 21010KT BECMG 0104 6000 SCT008=

Looking at that, if the 24025G35KT stuff is happening, they *might* be landing on just RW22, against the normal configurations which allow 2 landing runways (RW24 for departures). From memory, RW22 is the short one and has to be vacated at the end if taxiing to the main part of the airport, which would severely reduce the inbound flow. Might even have to hold, which is usual for AMS.
