How Does The Weather Affect Internet Connectivity?

​You may be surprised to know that the weather can affect internet connectivity. Possibly, you have already seen and experienced this. Not just bad weather, but certain types of weather are more likely to cause connectivity problems.  

Exploring Problems With Weather And Internet Connectivity

Satellite internet commonly experiences problems with bad weather. However, this may be the only option for users living in rural areas where other internet providers haven’t rolled out their services.
Nevertheless, other internet solutions are all prone to cutting out or providing a weaker signal during certain types of weather. This will be obvious if you take a tour of Wi-Fi hotspots around your city while a storm is active.

If snowfall or rainfall is light, you should not have connectivity issues. However, this weather may keep people housebound where it is warmer and drier. This means more users chilling with their favorite games or watching movies and consequently higher internet traffic, which can slow your network down.

A heavy rainstorm is more likely to affect television, mobile phone, and satellite internet than other devices. But everything may go down during a blizzard, tornado, or hurricane. If an outage continues, contact your Coldwater Ranch internet provider to find out how long it will take for the problem to be fixed.

Temporary Solutions For Internet Issues Caused By Bad Weather

​When your internet is displaying ongoing lagging or loss of connection during a storm, turn your modem off, wait for the count of ten, and switch it back on. This may reboot its power.

Reduce the number of devices that are logged in. Suggest a family movie and switch everything else off. This will concentrate the connectivity on one device. You can also try moving closer to your router and modem to improve the signal.

Storms tend to cause high humidity (or sometimes the reverse). This is felt both indoors and outdoors. When it is experienced inside a building it can affect Wi-Fi signals. If this is a constant problem in your area, you may want to consider getting a dehumidifier.

Be sure to download your internet provider’s customer app. This will enable you to keep yourself informed regarding outages and their expected duration before connectivity will be restored. Also, make sure you always have a small amount of data on your mobile phone in case Wi-Fi is completely down so that you can stay in touch with your internet provider. A battery backup is also useful and may gain you an extra hour-and-a-half of usage.

Types Of Weather And Their Effect On Internet Connectivity

Extreme weather can leave you without internet for days. This includes ice storms, flooding, blizzards, tornadoes, and hurricanes. However, even heavy rain can cause cable equipment to crack or block a satellite signal.

Rain is the biggest culprit when it comes down to weather and loss of internet connectivity. It is more likely than hail, fog, or snow to cause a disrupted service. The reason for this is that raindrops are denser than even snow, by as much as 12 percent. This is aggravated when it falls rapidly or the raindrops are larger and are more inclined to lead to an outage.

So far, the weather is one thing humanity does not have control over.
