You continue the approach. Shortly before touchdown, you ask for and get a live windcheck now!, not a recent one including gusts. Any puff of air over your limit, you go-around. That wind actually blowing at that instant is the one you use. An instantaneous wind does not gust. Hey presto, it's magic- it's usually within your limits!
