Why do balloons only fly at dusk and dawn?
Well, dusk and dawn are really the only times the weather is conducive for balloon flying. At other times of the day, when the sun strikes the ground at a 45-degreee angle or greater, thermals are created building up tricky air currents that make the air unsafe for ballooning. Basically, the winds are calmest in the morning or evening so that’s when we go.
