Question about a320 behavior in gusty wind

No it isn’t right, wind and turbulence basically have no effect on planes in the sim, so stormy and crosswind landings and no different to clear day landings, and storm clouds merely a visual effect, atmospherically they have no effect.

The only turbulence really integrated is mechanical turbulence from terrain, which can be very strong in real life. Trouble is as soon as someone can’t land their Cessna perfectly in a 40 knot gusting crosswind (which would be madness in real life) they start complaining about turbulence being ‘overdone’.

See my post here What's the deal with the wind? - #12 by Warp757

As it is the sim is incredibly boring without weather having the slightest impact on flight.
