When creating anything other than very small bubbles, atmospheric conditions play a huge role in bubble formation. Bubbles are only a few molecules thick so they are subject to quick evaporation/thinning in dry air. Turbulence and wind pop stiff bubbles or break flexible bubbles into smaller bubbles. Particles in the air (dust, bugs, smoke, etc.) can pop bubbles.
Humidity over 40% is considered absolutely necessary. For medium and big bubbles, humidity over 50% is desirable ( results seem to improve dramatically when the humidity is over 55%). With low humidity, bubbles might not last very long even in still air.
It is a good idea to know the conditions in your area. In areas where the air tends to be dry, early morning or just before or after it rains generally has higher humidity. Early morning also offers nice soft light that brings out the color in bubbles.
