Yes hot air balloons can fly in clouds and some people who do fly hot air balloons do go through the clouds to show off.

Also the hot air balloons can fly in cloudy weather and rainy weather as well but when the hot air balloon is used to give people rides the hot air balloon pilot will usually not go up in the hot air balloon in cloudy or stormy weather.

That is due to safety issues as although the hot air balloon can fly in cloudy and rainy weather the safety of the passengers can be at risk when and if a storm comes through such as lightning and other high wind etc.

So a hot air balloon pilot will usually only take the hot air balloon up in good sunny weather when no storms are forecast.
