If it's a limitation, then it's a limitation.

limit of 24 knots, and you have a wind from 90 degrees off with 20 knots gusting 30 knots.
... so as a pilot, all you need ask yourself is "Can I guarantee that I will land under the limitation, given the information I have?"

... and in your case there is only one answer, given the information you have: No

(Which doesn't stop you from gathering better information - i.e. ask the tower for the current measured wind.)
