Why do you only fly at Sunrise?
Hot air balloons fly when winds are most stable, usually shortly after sunrise. This is because the heating of the earth during the day creates thermal winds, which makes
conditions unstable.
Will pilots cancel a balloon flight due to weather?
Perhaps. If the pilot or pilots feel the weather condition is unsafe, they will cancel the flight. The pilot has the final say.
