It may seem incredible to you, but it does go on. Ask anyone who flies regularly in and out of one way Italian airports, or airports where wet runway crosswind limits apply like ORK or LDY mentioned above.
For all I know they are reporting at the exact second their devices measure the wind on limits and ignore exceedences, or the anemometer may be creatively placed, but I have several years of personal experience of incorrectly reported winds operating out of a restrictive Italian airport.
