there are two choices - you fly until it affects your plane (think BA south of Java here) or you try and use models to predict and act on that

Modelling the atmosphere in real time is just about the hardest computing task there is so its unlikely to ever be perfect

Neither is wonderful but risking damaging a $30 mm -$ 300mm aircraft doesn't seem very wise to me
