It depends on what you want to do.
Generally you can see the cells quite clearly and assuming you are not limited by airspace restrictions, it is easy to detour around them. So circuits and short local flights are OK.
X countries are more challenging, but take a look at the weather radar to see how much space there is in between cells.

In addition early mornings and evenings are best when there is less heat from the sun.
