Heavy rainstorms will reduce the strength of the signal that reaches your dish, while at the same time adding some noise to the signal. There's not much to do about that, unless a bigger dish is available, which would 'catch' more of the signal.
Another thing that can degrade signal is trees. While your dish may have a clear unobstructed view of the satellite on a calm day, with a little wind (not even a cloud or storm) some trees could be swaying their branches into the signal path. Either move the dish, or see if some of the branches can be trimmed.
Some of the dish systems let you switch transponders (kind of like changing channels) which the alternate transponder may be getting through better to you than the one currently using. Check with your guide or manufacturer's website.

What is the reception like with satellite phones?
sattelite phones

What did people say when two satellite dishes got married?

How do you prevent satellite TV reception washout?
Giant Umbrella?
Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.
How was a satellite phone useful?
A satellite phone could (and can still) give you mobile phone reception ANYWHERE in the world.
How does the picture quality compare on digital satellite as opposed to basic cable?
There may not be that much of a difference, depending on the TV on which you are viewing the satellite or cable. Based on where you live, reception of either the cable or the satellite might be better, but that's a reception issue, not a picture quality problem.
