Crystal clear air and few showers means instability, TCUs and CBs. You may be happily flying under the overcast and suddenly enter the convective updraft/downdraft of a nasty CB right over you. You don't want to be in that situation at a low altitude.
Not saying what you do is wrong or whatever, just that you should know what you're doing. If that's the case, no complaints (would like to fly with you in that situation to learn how you do it because I wouldn't dare to be honest).
