Yes it is typical weather, but perhaps the crew got caught out by it at the minima or just after and they elected to go-around. However if the Autothrottle had been disengaged earlier in the approach, they hit TOGA for the go-around but failed to push the thrust levers up but followed the flight direct (go-around mode) the aircraft would have pitched up, speed would decrease and the aircraft would continue descending until it hit the water. So the WEATHER would be a contributing factor.
