Three things worth knowing
People arrive in shorts
January sits at -4.5 °C at the top station, and one hour in ten is at or below -9.5 °C — before wind chill. The beach you left an hour ago was at 22 °C. The mountain does not care.
The season matters less than you'd think
November is the windiest month (31% of hours over 50 km/h) and May the calmest (19%). So even in summer it is not a guarantee, and even in winter most hours are fine. The hour of day matters as much as the month.
There is no “it closes at X km/h”
The cable car operator doesn't publish a wind limit, and inventing one would make this page look more useful than it is. What the data can honestly give you is the chance of the conditions that tend to cause suspensions. Always check the operator on the day.
