There is an absolute wind limit on A320 series for ground operations - 65 kts. An additional consideration is cargo door operation. The limit for that is 40 kts unless the aircraft is parked into wind or parked so that the door is on the leeward side in which case it is 50 kts. The cargo doors must be shut at 65 kts.

I think Boeings have something similar but I can't remember.

HTH,
