Based upon weather and time of year.

Using historical weather data is ideal, especially if the user is planning a trip well into the future where it would be impossible to get an actual forecast. I have found the following APIs that may be useful in getting the data needed:

worldweatheronline worldbank

I have chosen to use the world bank api because world weather online requires a paid subscription to access historical weather data. In addition, it doesn't even require the use of an api key so set up is even easier.

This stackoverflow answer may help me get more specific weather data and allow the user to input the city they are going to.
