Claim 13:
14. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing program instructions that, when executed on or across one or more processors, perform:
determining a model predictive of environmental conditions for one or more data centers based at least in part on seasonal weather considerations, wherein the one or more data centers comprise a plurality of computing resources in a plurality of corresponding locations, and wherein the model predictive of environmental conditions is usable to predict ambient temperature at a location within one of the one or more data centers for a future time;
selecting, from the plurality of computing resources in the plurality of corresponding locations, a particular computing resource in a particular location for performing one or more computing tasks; and
selecting a starting time for performing the one or more computing tasks, wherein the starting time is selected based at least in part on reducing energy usage associated with the one or more data centers according to the model predictive of environmental conditions including the ambient temperature predicted for the future time, and wherein the particular computing resource in the particular location is used to perform the one or more computing tasks.
