Cross winds in range of 25 to 40 MPH are very strong in my opinion.. And as mentioned above, they will affect everyone, some just more than others.
Since winds that strong don't happen every day, I think slowing down makes most sense. One day I was following my wife from Houston to San Antonio in strong crosswinds out of the Gulf and while she was going the speed limit in our Odyssey, it was too much for me in our taller Ford van that doesn't handle crosswinds as well as the Honda. I had to call her and ask to slow down.
I've rarely experienced crosswinds that strong, probably less than 1% of driven miles, so don't plan to take any action other than slow down as needed.
