One of the reasons that flights are conducted in the mornings is that a balloon is very sensitive to wind and heat. In Namibia, the only time it is possible to fly balloon is one hour after sunrise in summer, 2.5 hours after sunrise in winter. It is impossible in windy conditions or on very hot mornings (more than 30°c). (The difference between the outside temperature and inside the balloon envelope being approx. 70°c).
YouTube: Namib Sky Safaris video:
A pilot cannot
steer a balloon, it goes with the wind at the same speed. He can just control the
altitude, and
according to the wind channels found, the direction preferred is chosen.
