Claim:
1. A method, comprising: determining, by a network management server (NMS) or a root node, a weather forecast that predicts a weather condition proximate to a network; determining a plurality of network profiles that define attributes of the network and correspond to a plurality of weather conditions respectively, wherein the attributes of the network include application traffic profiles and application usage requirements selecting, by the NMS or the root node, network parameters of the network to adjust based on the predicted weather condition and a corresponding network profile; selecting nodes of the network based on the predicted weather condition; and dynamically adjusting, by the NMS or the root node, the network parameters to improve performance of the network in response to the predicted weather condition, wherein the network parameters at at least a link layer and a network application layer across an entire networking stack are dynamically adjusted, wherein the adjusting of the network parameters only affects the selected nodes of the network.
