You are in this case dealing with a x-wind component of 16 to max 25 knots. Is this outside your limits?
To be fair I don't think its the x-wind that he's referring to. I think its more to do with the gusts and the associated turbulence. On my type I'd be most worried about reaching the flaps limit speed during a gust, but I think I'd still make the approach. Our company limit is a wind speed of 60kts.
