HWC/TWC in Pattern
If it is any help, for a Cessna 150 the headwind component is (Cosine of the angle of the wind off your heading) x (the wind speed).
eg 45 degrees off = .7 x wind speed: 90 off = 0: on the nose = wind speed.
I'm sure you can adapt that to an A320?

- 5-degree crosswind equals 99% of the wind speed
- 25-degree crosswind equals 90% of the wind speed
- 45-degree crosswind equals 70% of the wind speed
- 65-degree crosswind equals 44% of the wind speed
- 85-degree crosswind equals 87% of the wind speed
