You'll be fine!
Just watch the weather radar, and don't ride in storms. If you are caught far away from shelter, simply find the lowest spot, lay your bike down, take helmet off & keep it upright, and you yourself find as sheltered a place as possible away from stuff poking up into the air. I was caught out once in a very dangerous storm that i found later to have killed 2 residents not that far up the road from my town. I took shelter on the other side of the road from the nearby power lines in a (thankfully dry) ditch. Was pretty not good to be out that particular day.
