There is no wind correction apart from the standard +5 for tailwinds, even with gusts. That would be just pouring petrol on an already large fire.

Quote from FCTM:
Note: Do not apply wind additives for steady tailwinds or tailwind gusts. Set command speed at VREF + 5 knots (autothrottle connected or disconnected).
