High minima due to circle-to-land approach, flown in LOC/VNAV. Captain is PF (Pilot Flying), First Officer is PM (Pilot Monitoring).
FO has his hand near the yoke to talk to ATC via the mike button on the yoke. He is not pilot flying.
We were due to break left at minima, join the downwind and a 180° turn towards the opposite runway. It's a standard procedure when the landing runway doesn't have an instrument approach and weather doesn't permit a visual approach.
However, we need to be visual with the runway to do a circle-to-land, which was not the case here.
There was too much tailwind for a straight-in ILS 05 (wind on the ground 250/30).
Luckily, weather cleared up quickly and we made it on the second approach.
