Flying over tropical rotating storms doesn't present many issues - I've done it a few times. I would prefer not to, but sometimes you have no choice. The OP may be asking about a fairly standard interview question about the threats of doing so, for which the standard answer is that the OAT will rise, so if you are close to your maximum altitude, you may have to descend.
