Here's what I learned from that.

1) If it's hot in the desert southwest, always expect wind shear.
Be prepared to adjust the ailerons as necessary & don't just
throw the yoke over to whatever side you think the crosswind
is coming from.

Actually, it is more appropriate to "steer" with the wind rather than
into it to minimize its effect. That is, if the aircraft is for
example experiencing wind from the right rear, one would push the
yoke/stick forward and to the left. This lowers the elevator and
right aileron, so that the wind can't get under them as easily.

2) Maintain back pressure when on the roll-out especially when
braking hard.

That's what the POH recommend, IINM.

3) Bring up the flaps (they were at 40 degrees) during the
roll-out to make yourself a smaller target for the wind.

It also puts more weight on the main gear tires to increase brake
effectiveness.
