From what I’ve read the wind can point different directions at different altitudes, so you can navigate a little bit by changing your altitude, depending on the wind conditions.
Used to crew for a hot air balloon company, and that’s correct. Also, we never flew when the wind was over 10 knots, both at ground and altitude.
You also don’t want the wind to be too still, because that’s just an elevator ride and you don’t get to see anything. Makes it easy on the crew, though.
