My brother was coming into Tucson during monsoon season - violent late summer storms. The winds changed direction quite suddenly and the pilot decided to abort. Unfortunately with the new wind direction he didn't have enough speed to climb before the wheels hit the ground. He still did a touch and go, went up, circled and came back the opposite direction as planned.

Pilots have a lot more to deal with than we do, could be as simple as needing the wind in their face to help slow the plane down, though in this case since the engines were racing it was probably a better choice to continue the planned ascent and reconfigure for landing.
