Interesting exceptions in Switzerland (often orientated along valley) & Rhone Valley of France (N-S to cope with Mistral).
What's scary is how many fewer N-S runways there are than say 25 years ago in the UK. Some were inherited from the old generous WW2 fields, sure, but can anyone think of a major x-wind runway being built in the Uk since then?!?
I can think of plenty that have closed....Heathrow, Bournemouth, Norwich.
