Im running Mathematica version 10.4 on my desktop and your code runs on my desktop only if modified:
MaxWindSpeedRemoveQuantityDistribution[lat_, long_] :=
UnitConvert[
Quantity[
Part[maxwind/.
NSolve[
Probability[x>=maxwind,
x\[Distributed]
With[{dist=EstimatedDistribution[
WeatherData[{lat, long}, "MaxWindSpeed", {{1990}, {2015}, "Year"}],
GumbelDistribution[\[Alpha], \[Beta]]]},
Switch[
dist, GumbelDistribution[_, _],
dist, QuantityDistribution[GumbelDistribution[_, _], _], First[dist]]]]==0.02,
maxwind, Reals]][[1]],
"Kilometers"/"Hours"]*1.66,
"Meters"/"Seconds"];

Ive verified that this code also works in the Wolfram Cloud, see below.
