Does Bad Weather Affect Mobile Signals?

Who doesn’t like a bit of rain, that earthy smell uplifting your mood in a second? Well, the scenario changes when that rain turns into a thunderstorm causing electrical interference. It means when you can’t get mobile phone signals.

Water present in the atmosphere wouldn’t hamper the signal but if the amount is increased it would disrupt the signal. It does this by refracting it. That’s why it takes longer than usual to reach either to your mobile phone or to the tower.

You should know under what weather conditions the cell reception gets hindered besides rain. It’s no brainer that heavier the rain, it’s more likely to disrupt the signal just like when your set up box doesn’t receive signal and you can’t watch television. Same goes for lightning or thunderstorm, it’s not only scary but also affects cell service. Talking about snow-receiving areas, the bad effect is less as compared to thunderstorms. However, heavy snow can make things worse. As far as fog is concerned, it would have lesser effect than heavy rain. The other not so bad conditions are high/low temperature and wind.

How to get signal despite bad weather conditions?
Rain, lightning, thunderstorm and snow are part and parcel of life and there is nothing that you can do about these natural phenomenons. There is one thing that you can do is get a mobile booster.

A mobile signal booster ensures there is no signal disruption and you can easily complete day-to-day tasks at home or office that require your attention. In other words, it’s a signal boosters to strengthen the signal and enjoy hassle-free communication. Now that you know what a signal booster does. You should know about the various brands offering these boosters. There are various brands available in the market and the notable ones are Ericsson, Signaxo and Seguro.

How signal boosters work?
As mentioned-above, a mobile booster is a tool that facilitates connectivity irrespective of the location. It comprises an outside antenna, mobile phone signal amplifier, inside antenna and a cable to connect these things. The outside antenna receives signals from the nearest tower and passes it to the signal amplifier through the cable. The signal strength of the cell phone is boosted by this amplifier and then it passes over the side antennas broadcasting it where it’s needed (workplace or home).

So the next time you are stuck in bad weather or live in an area that is prone to it, you know what to do to avoid weak signals or no signal at all. Besides this, there are many other reasons to get mobile boosters. You will be surprised at some reasons such as heavy cellular traffic or tall buildings. Unfortunately in India, if you’re living in the metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore or any mountain area with heavy snow/thunderstorms, you’re likely to face some issues therefore, cell phone signal boosters are needed.
