Calm to light winds are the most desirable for a balloon flight. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. The winds are lightest when the sun is rising (Earth is just starting to warm) or setting (Earth has already started to cool). A balloon flight revolves around Mother Nature and we don’t like to test her limits. PLEASE be on time for your flight since it is very important that we take off as scheduled.
