Well summer is almost upon us. I normally fly before sundown. The temps here can be pretty high at that time..85-95F. I know the batteries will not charge above 104, but what happens when you try to fly in the aforementioned temps?
Any experience, thanks.

If you use an iPad it might not be too happy...
 
Here's a recent healthy drone battery analysis on a recent flight. The battery was kept at ambient temp ~80 deg. The temp outside was between 83-87. This was the third flight with the same battery, not long because the battery was close to 30%. Everything went well, but if I were to use another battery it would have been in a cooler to make sure it didn't get too hot. This battery is relatively new. So this would appear to be slightly over the recommended 48C.
