I will throw it out there that it depends on the intensity and that every weather pattern is different.

I have flown over a weak tropical depression that became a typhoon a few moons ago. You could clearly see the weather pattern on the radar. Was it rough? No. Was it smart? Hmmmm on reflection probably not as I wouldn’t do it again. It is amazing what thought processes go through your mind at 4am on a 2 crew red eye.....

Thats just it in my eyes, weather can and will do anything, predictions aside, it’s nature!
