If you do go and are concerned about wx try and fly in early in the morning (6am to 11am). You can get a layer at say 5-600 feet but that usually breaks up by 9ish. I would avoid anything after 3pm if you can.

The thing to remember is unpredictability (it gets nasty fast) - and even those with high levels of wet season experience get scared.

Don't be afraid to ask one of the local pilots what the wx doing down his/her way- use 123.45 for this if you are going to have a conversation though (Area gets busy).

Good luck and stay safe .
