Sorry, my old brain isn't coming up with anything! I recall extremely strong crosswinds sometime in the 70s - I think it was steady 360/50 kts or similar. We tried 05 and 10L (as it was then!) but very few aircraft made it and crews were struggling to find airfields with N-S runways for diversion. Crosswinds don't usually affect spacing in terms of what the Tower requires although they can be hell for the radar controllers. (Remember I'm talking many moons ago and things may have changed since).
