Iron Duck,

the report has this on p. 16:

Lübeck Regional Airport
Until 1950 hrs the cloud cover was 7-7 oktas cumulonimbus without thunder activity, with the base at about 5,000 ft AGL. The front did not reach the airport until between 2010 hrs and 2020 hrs. There was heavy rain with gusts reaching nearly 50 kt.
The METAR reports read:
EDHL 101750Z(19:50 Uhr) 30015KT 9999 SCT019 SCT035C BKN050 19/16 Q1005 ATIS Z=
EDHL 101820Z(20:20 Uhr) 26032G48KT 3000 9999 +TSSHRA BKN009CB 13/12 Q1007 ATIS A=

May we interpret what I highlighted in green as BFU asking the same question as you: Why didn't they land there or why were they not advised to do so?
