Does it get cold flying in a hot air balloon?
Answered By Editor
No. Actually, it is really not much colder
in the balloon than on the ground. At high
altitude, it is colder than at ground level,
generally 3.5 degrees colder for each 1,000
feet of altitude. However, most balloonists
fly low, anywhere from treetop level to 3,000
feet. So, you will not feel a big
difference. If you book a hot air balloon
flight, there is a good chance you will be
taking flight sometime during early morning
hours. The best wind conditions for
ballooning are usually right after sunrise.
So, especially in the Spring and Fall, you
may want to dress in layers with a sweater or
light jacket so that you can shed them during
the flight as things warm up.
