For those of us in the south that would leave us grounded most of July and August. I think the more proper thing to say would be: Please do not fly without the proper situational awareness to make the right decision about thunderstorms. things to mitigate weather issues would be: 1) fly during the day if at all possible - being able to see what you're getting into makes all of the difference 2) remain VFR and give the storms a wide berth - FAA says 20 mi from the core of an intense cell 3) get wxworx and use it - the nexrad functions allow you to make sure you stay way clear of class 2/3 stuff or higher. I have followed this plan the last few years and it has served me well. during this time of year the wxworx nexrad working is part of the go/no go decision. and yes, i know the info is delayed but like i stated before it is for giving the storms a wide berth, not picking your way through them.
