In Canada, airports report the CRFI (Canadian Runway Friction Index). You look up the number at the bottow of the crosswind chart (the one with the lines for different angles and arcs for different wind strengths) and it shows you the maximum acceptable crosswind for the conditions.

It doesn't apply to rain, though, just to ice and snow.
