I'm not a pilot but such conditions got me wondering about some things.

Suppose there are very strong crosswinds and a go-around initiated and ATC gives you vectors for a circuit to return for another try. I would imagine that the wind would cause IAS to increase or decrease significantly depending on whether you're turning into or away from it for the upwind or for base leg. How do you pilots handle such situations? Reduce the bank angle or even add/reduce thrust before turning?
