I recommend:
- learn to ride in winds of 10, 15, 20 mph before you tackle 25mph.
- make sure you do your commute route on all these and make notes of the effects of where the wind and gusts tend to be the worst.
- think about alternate route that may offer some sort of wind break.

You are facing a 25mph wind. There may be occasional gusts perhaps up to 45-50mph.
This is probably do-able (I've certainly done... many times), but only if you have the personal experience of having done similar situations and only if you know how to handle the bike in those conditions.
