My instructor said that the max xwind speed for a safe landing in a 152 was 12.5 kts
I've done 14kts plus gusts in a 152.

With an instructor.

The first and third landings were OK ...

... but the second one frightened the instructor.

(That's why I prefer floatplanes. No crosswinds - just land into wind.)
