1. A computer-implemented method for managing throughput on a network based on weather conditions, the method comprising:
identifying a weather condition from a weather forecast, wherein the weather condition includes a geographic area and a time period;
collecting historical data for the network, wherein the historical data correlates network performance and weather data in a common time period;
determining that the weather condition will lower network throughput below a threshold by predicting an effect of the weather condition on the network using the historical data; and
performing a countermeasure on the network at a time prior to the time period of the weather condition, wherein the countermeasure is selected from a group consisting of: dynamically creating software application containers on a server, wherein the software application containers are accessed by a user computing device within the geographic area automatically copying a data file stored within the geographic area to a remote server outside the geographic area, automatically creating a file buffer on the remote server outside the geographic area, automatically copying a data file stored within the geographic area to the user computing device at the time prior to the time period of the weather condition, and automatically creating a local file buffer on the user computing device at the time prior to the time period of the weather condition.
