12L has a 9kts tailwind component to a 28 kt tailwind gust, moving to a 18/21kt headwind along the runway. Why wasnt 12R with headwinds better?

ATC reported winds from 340 degrees, 11 kts. Where is the AWOS located?

Look at the crazy METAR from 110 degrees 15 kts, variable from 60 to 150 degrees with temp wind from 350 degrees 15 kts.
