Skydivers have jumped at the North and South poles, so it is possible to jump in any temperature on earth. For all practical purposes if you're doing a first jump, you'll be comfortable when the ground temperature is above 40 degrees, and below 100 degrees. It is possible to skydive at night, and is in fact a requirement for the USPA D license, but student jumps are required to be done during daylight hours. Licensed skydivers set their own wind limits, generally between 15 and 30 mph, but solo student jumps are required to be done at a maximum wind speed of 15 mph (individual DZs can file a waiver to this requirement). The minimum opening altitude for licensed skydivers in the US under USPA requirements is 2000', since it's a violation of the Federal Aviation Administration law to jump through clouds, this effectively requires that any cloud overcast be above 2000'. Student skydivers are required to open by 3,000'. Your question is a bit vague and open ended, hopefully I hit on what you needed to know.
