Weather

The winds and weather play a big part in hot air ballooning. If you let a toy helium balloon go it floats up and goes wherever the wind takes it. In a large hot air balloon it is no different. Which ever way the wind blows the balloon goes.

The difference is in control. With the helium balloon it just keeps going up. With a hot air balloon the pilot can control the altitude and by varying their altitude can catch different winds going in varying directions. Some days all altitudes are almost the same speed and direction. But other days there can be a large difference within just a few hundred feet. Sometimes as much as 90 degrees difference!
