On a hot sunny day, will you have to compensate more for your transverse flow effect than on a chilly day?

Thinking about updrafts from heated surfaces.

For example, your over an black surface, (taxiway, runway or similar) and want to do an takeoff. When you hit about 10-15knots you will have to give more forward-right cyclic input than normal.

Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on lots of things, including the wind, temp, etc. It's a complicated situation, and all you can do is whatever it takes to make the helicopter do what you want it to do, as always.
