Weather tomorrow morning

Quick newbie question re:weather. I am hoping to have my first proper lesson tomorrow morning (first two attempts managed to be on the worst days of the first couple of weeks of October). I have started learning how to look at the weather and to me

TEMPO 2206 26027G45KT

For EGLL (I am flying from Wycombe, so I guess Heathrow is a good guide) means there is no chance of going up in a little warrior, am I right? I don't know what is the maximum headwind for safe flying, but i would have thought with gusts to 45 knots the plane could just about take off without the engine running!

I have 40 miles to drive, so if there is no chance I won't bother trying, but if there is a small chance I am desperate to get started so I will turn up and see what happens.

Sorry if this is a really obvious question to you more experienced people out there.

Cheers

Steve
