      June 25, 2026 10:39 Society The championship in ballooning will take place from June 25 to 28 near Nizhny Novgorod. This is reported by the Telegram channel of the SharNN club. Four evening balloon flights are expected as part of the event. However, their number will depend on weather conditions. The launch is scheduled for the Bor River floodplain. Balloons will take off from 19:40 to 20:10, and land by 21:00. The exact coordinates will be announced on the day of the flight, as much will depend on the wind direction. According to the weather forecast, precipitation is expected in the region on June 25. For this reason, it will be decided today by 16:00 whether the flight will take place or not. The forecasts for the next two days are more favorable, so launches should occur. Information about the flight on June 28 will be announced later.

      "It is important: the decision to fly is made by each pilot independently; based on safety messages, a pilot may take off earlier, delay the takeoff, or cancel the flight," the organizers stated.
