Heat Waves Bring Thunderstorms!

Beware and refer to previous publications for risks description and safety tips, for instance:
https://www.easa.europa.eu/newsroom-and-events/news/sunny-swift-weather…;
https://www.easa.europa.eu/newsroom-and-events/news/sunny-swift-weather…;
https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/general-publications/egast-…;

See also this AOPA video on avoiding spring convective weather and thunderstorms:
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=AOPA+Safety+video+weather+thunders…

Feel free to share other good material in this forum.

Safety starts on the ground at the flight planning stage.
If the weather is questionable, don't fly or divert.
Know and respect your and your aircraft's limitations and use all available resources including your eyes, technology, FIS and ATC.

PS Even birds avoid flying into these thunderstorm forming clouds:
