The hot air balloon regatta scheduled for May 11, July 20, and July 27 was cancelled because of unfavorable wind conditions, despite hopes for the event to occur this year. The event last took place in 2019, and has faced cancellations each year since due to various reasons, including the pandemic. Organisers aimed for the balloons to fly over iconic London landmarks. They expressed disappointment over the cancellation, committing to plan for the event in 2026, which has raised substantial funds for charity since its inception.
The event was cancelled due to wind direction and speed, which impacted the possibility of launching up to 60 balloons in the skies over London.
Hot air balloons were scheduled to fly over famous landmarks, but adverse weather conditions have caused multiple cancellations since 2020.
Organisers expressed disappointment about the cancellation, stressing that everyone had invested significant effort into making the event happen.
Since 2015, the event has raised over 250,000 pounds in support of the Lord Mayor's Appeal.
