The balloons are back in Phoenix! 
When we start seeing balloons in the sky after super windy monsoon winds, dust storms and extremely hot summer temperatures, Phoenicians know that fall must be lurking right around the corner!
As one local ballooning company put it:
Hot air balloon flights require ideal weather conditions, which luckily are present most days out of the average year in Phoenix. However, just because it’s a beautiful sunny day, understand that it may not necessarily be a perfect day to go hot air ballooning. The wind speed should be less than 7 to 10 miles per hour, and there must be no thunderstorm activity within 50-100 miles. Balloons don’t fly in the rain. Even if it has stopped raining recently before flight time, there may be more bad weather on the way. – Apex Balloons
