Narrative:

I was pilot in command of a cessna 182E from ZZZ to ZZZ1. Preflight planning included weather briefing of winds from flight plan.com; weather conditions at ZZZ and ZZZ1 and the en route forecast from NOAA aviation weather center. Weather in ZZZ1 was forecast for southwest winds 10-15 mph. I printed the airport diagram for landing and arrival information from airnav.com. I departed ZZZ at XA00 using runway 26 and expected to arrive in ZZZ1 at XC15 pm. Travel from ZZZ to ZZZ1 vicinity was relatively uneventful with mild turbulence 30 mile southeast of ZZZ1. I had ASOS information with winds at 210 at 16 KTS. The ATC gave me clearance to land on runway 26 with left base. Due to a crash under investigation; both runways better in line with prevailing winds were closed. Upon entry to the base pattern; I was descending from 5;500 ft. I contacted approach for validation of my course to base since I was initially unable to see the runway. I continued in the pattern; making positive identification of runway 26 both visually and by the GPS; turning left base to runway 26. The winds pushed the aircraft to the north which I corrected with ample space for positioning. I crabbed to the centerline of the runway at about 90 mph with 20-30 degree of flaps. Over the runway; the aircraft was descended into landing attitude slowly and the plane position was corrected from a crab to side slip. I then deployed the full 40 degree of flaps to induce the plane to settle to the runway. The touchdown occurred from 1/3 to 1/2 of the length of the runway. However; I felt I could stop the aircraft in the remaining length of the runway seeing no logical reason for a go around. At about 80 mph; the main wheels made contact with the ground; the aircraft then became airborne 1-2 ft from the surface and began a skid to the right. I immediately initiated a harder deflection of the ailerons into the wind with no response from the aircraft. The plane seemed to roll only on the right landing gear turning the nose toward the right side of the runway. I felt the right wingtip touch the ground and then the propeller tips scrape. I regained positive control of the plane and turned back to the centerline. I called the tower to ask if they were able to see what caused the mishap. They informed me reported winds were 21016 and a pilot reported windshear on the same runway earlier the same day. The 1962 cessna pilots operating handbook does not reference crosswind component. AOPA's safety highlights bulletin estimates the maximum demonstrated crosswind component for most cessna 182 aircraft is 15 KTS. I was prepared for a crosswind landing of 40 degrees with 16-17 mph winds. Evidence suggests; the landing was hindered by a 60 degree crosswind in excess of 25 mph gusts.

Title: A C182 pilot landed in a 16 kt crosswind; ballooned then contacted the right wing tip and propeller on the second touch down. The maximum tested crosswind landing was 15 kts. Actual crosswind was a 60 degrees cross gusting to 25 kts.
