All down to pot luck and experience, essentially. Those of us with any experience of LGW R26 in the days of 'Laker's Revenge' and other 'local wind effects' will know the value of 'spot winds' which are often measured nowhere near the threshold and thus can resemble chocolate teacups in their usefulness - apart from preserving one's little pink bottom in case it all goes wrong.
