That you were simply passing the information on was understood, deci. Thanks.
As I said, airfields do not close simply for strong winds. The decision to make an approach to land always rests with the commanders of aircraft, despite what you read or hear in the media. Each captain's decision is made from a multitude of varying criteria, and the situation is often fluid. It is possible that there were temporary increases of wind at Ciampino that were not reflected in the half-hourly METARS that I posted, but it seems unlikely. We shall find out sooner or later...
