I have 60 hours, 58 of which are on type and am fairly current (5 hours flown in last 30 days).
As I move away from my flight school I find myself having to make more decisions, and tomorrow is forecast to be gusty.
On reflection, if it does turn out to be gusty, I think I'll leave it.
... and on the face of it, that shows common sense and good airmanship.
However, I'll guarantee you two things. Firstly, when you've a few more hours under your belt, you won't be making the same decision (I'm talking of winds as you describe in your first post) : and secondly, the only way to get to that position is through experience.
Therefore, perhaps a better bet would be to book an instructor for tomorrow, and have a look at these conditions? There's nothing like real world experience, and if you "get lucky" you'll then know what it feels like as well as what to do about it.
Anytime now, the usual gaggle of "hell boy, that ain't wind where ah cum from, mah dawg meks more wind then thayut" idiots will show up ... ignore them. You've made a good call, and they're mostly full of p*ss and 270/45G70 anyway !
